News

The board met on 13 September. Highlights:

The board is still working on getting the half-sunken boat away from the club. The salvage company that

was supposed to do it didn’t show up. Stay tuned…

The board approved getting a new AC unit in the kitchen at the request of Ilsa Unglaube, one of our

Wednesday hot dog volunteers. This is the opportunity to say “danke schoen” to Ilsa and all those who

help set up and clean after the race.

Here are the current nominations for board members: Commodore: Richards (continuing); Rear: John

(continuing); Vice: Kalna (continuing); Treasurer: Faulk (continuing); Secretary: open (please apply!);

Newsletter: Girard (continuing); Race: Latour (new); Harbor: Cesar (new); Grounds: Sargent (continuing);

Social: Rice (new).

From Summer Rice: There will be a social on 22 October. The theme is Halloween. Come costumed! There will

be a prize for best costume. Drinks at 5:30, dinner at 6.

From Sheron Faulk: Late fees are added each bill if the dues payment is not received within 45 days of the due

date. Please pay your bill on time to avoid the late fee. Email me at info@shiptoshoreco.com to know your

balance if you are unsure. The following members should contact me ASAP regarding outstanding balances:

Yokubaitis, Noni Shearman, Twiford, Seth Guidry.

Many thanks to the people who helped clean the beach during the work party on 9/10 (Kalna, Abrahams,

Ashoka, Sargent, Chrisco).

About the Patriots Day Regatta: (from Scot Cesar): “There was not a lot of wind and rain apparently

everywhere but the club. This was our first sole one-design regatta in a while at the club. Three sunfish

put into the water in very light wind and held a race from the X mark to the B mark by the club. I think

the logic was it was better to head back in than paddle all the way back across the lake. The results are

below. Apparently David was able to float faster across the line than the others. Congratulations!”
