Greetings,

    This is a big old reminder about the Annual Meeting Saturday evening, Oct. 15. We want everyone to be there. There is a by laws change proposal to be voted on giving the board more flexibility in setting a date for the Commodores Ball. The verbiage is below for those that haven't read it.

      The evening will begin at 6:30 pm with a dinner, provided by the club. Yes, Karen and her crew are cooking. Yeeee Haw! We'l;l do what we do best.....eat!

     The Annual Meeting will be immediately following dinner.  

Bylaws Change Proposal: The current bylaws require that the Commodore's Ball be held in November. Many of our members enjoy attending the Wurstfest Regatta, held the first two weekends of November (dinghies the 1st weekend, big boats on the 2nd weekend) and they would prefer that the Ball be scheduled some other weekend so they can do both. Considering Thanksgiving week, that leaves only one weekend in Nov. available for the Commodores Ball.

A proposal to change the bylaws would allow the Commodore's Ball to be scheduled anytime in the fall. The proposal will be voted on at the Annual Meeting October 15.

Current bylaws wording:

Section 5. Special Events

      A. The Commodore's Ball for recognition of officers and presentation of awards shall be held on any weekend in November - except the week of Thanksgiving.

Proposed change:

      A. The Commodore's Ball for recognition of officers and presentation of awards shall be held on any weekend in the fall -  except the week of Thanksgiving.

Club Championship

     The 2011 Club Championship will be held October 15. All members in good standing are eligible to compete. You never know who will win. Make plans today to use your skills and take the coveted championship trophy home. More details and the NOR can be found at the Yahoo Groups file. 

      Drew could use some help so if you are not sailing, come out and have a great day on the water. It's been beautiful outside so leave the yard work until next weekend and let's go sailing.
