Closing Statement from Brent Boyle
Brent listed some of the activities will consider for the upcoming year. The Third Friday Socials hosted by board members will continue. John and Kitty Springer are already on board hosting a St. Patrick social.
The flotilla last year had a good turnout. Brent also suggested sending out emails of when people are expected to be out on the water, and encouraging others who may not have boats to join in the activity. Kitty Springer suggested the GroupMe app for people who don’t check their email often as a way to keep up with events.
The club will also have their normal Spring and Fall regattas, and the summer sailing series.
Another possible topic was educational series on racing, or other seamanship topics of interest.
Next Monthly Meeting:
The next monthly meeting for February will be decided later.
