It sure doesn't feel like November. Once we got by the freak snow storm in October the weather has been incredible. Hopefully everyone has been able to put their boats to bed for the winter without incurring frostbite.
The Haul Out party was a great success. We had 39 people attend the event on 11/5 at Jacky's Galaxie in Bristol. It was nice to see Cary Hallinan back in the area and meet our newest members Herb Kaiser and Betty Stickney. Herb and Betty bought Odyssey from Ron and Ann Nickles.
The 2012 Flag officers were introduced. The are:
Treasurer - Bev Zmuda from Morning Star II
Secretary- Deb Chirnside from Sudsea
Fleet Captians - Jill Clement and Lee Rabbitt from Sorritas
Rear Commodore - Bill Kaylor from Seanchai
Vice Commodore - David Arnold from Prints of Tides
Commodore - Yours truly, Jeff Chirnside from Sudsea
We thanked the outgoing officers for their dedicated service to the club.
Anne Anthony - Past Commodore
Bill Hague - Secretary
John Impagliazzo - Commodore
We also recognized Peggy Perrotto for her significant achievement of being named Teacher of the Year.
The Dead of Winter Party will have a new venue for 2012. Jill and Matt Clement have graciously offered to host the party. They live in North Kingstown, RI. The date and time will be communicated to everyone once that has been decided.
The offices will hold their first meeting in December and I am looking for input from you. Specifically input on the following topics would be greatly appreciated:
- What types of events would you like OSCA to hold? Are there new things you would like us to consider?
- What can we do to increase participation at events?
- What can we do to increase membership
It's hard to believe Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday.
Cheers,
Jeff Chirnside
