MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 8, 2008
· The meeting was called to order by Commodore Ken Keighron at
7:30 p.m. with 17 members present. The August minutes were approved by the membership as published in the newsletter. The Treasurer’s report was approved.
· The Harry “G” is scheduled for September 27, 2008; Ken expects at least 3 sailors from outside the Club. Both the food and the entry fee are free. We did this last year and it was a great success.
· Ken sent out an e-mail with return receipt to see if the mail is getting through. 35 e-mails were sent and only 13 sent answers. Ken will continue sending notes without return receipt and go back to the phone tree.
· Ken received an e-mail from Charlie; he is doing great but needs a pond. He likes being near his son and is settling in nicely in West Virginia. Contact Charlie at [Chaswanker@aol.com].
· Ken reported some improvement with sail numbers on the jib. Ken reminded all to give room at the mark. If it’s congested, go wide; you‘ll do better than getting stuck in the crowd with no wind. Use the flag on the buoy as a telltale. Allan prepared 2 white boards with our buoy markings to show what course is being sailed. Great idea; thanks Allan.
· Luncheon: Bob Murphy is arranging; let him know as soon as possible with a check ($25 per person); also, dues are due in October.
· The meeting was adjourned at 8:25 p.m.
Respectfully,
Ed Crawford
