Commodore’s Welcome |
|
Greetings, Sailors, and welcome to the 2006 season at the Blue Valley Yacht Club. We’re looking forward to a great year and hope that it is a productive and enjoyable one for our organization.
Your Board of Directors has already had its first meeting. Several items were discussed, among them how to in-crease social activities at the club, liability insurance, work projects for the year and increasing our support of youth sailing and the Sea Scouts. These |

issues will re-ceive more attention as the year progresses and I’m sure other equally important matters will present themselves. It’s vital that organizations such as ours have as much member support as possible. Joining the club and sup-porting it with your dollars is vital, but of equal import-ance is volunteering some time to help with general main-tenance, upkeep and improvements. I encourage each of our members to become more involved this year and make our small sailing club one to be proud |
