OK, had a good meeting with Jack this morning, lots of good potential, we need ideas and volunteers willing to make them happen.

Focus will be on new website, communications and class support. We want one new initiative that can apply across classes (youth, community outreach, etc.).

Who plans on coming to the meeting in FL?

Mike

I'll buy a pitcher since you're in my backyard.

I'll be there, but not until Friday AM.

We recently started a sailboat rental program at our club on Lake Carlyle near St. Louis. We give a short written test to people to verify their ability. We rent for 4 or 8 hours. We rent a Hobie Wave, Some Hunter 18, Flying Scot, or San Juan 21. The harbor master handles the rentals. Unless you have an onsite person to administer the program it would be impossible. We mostly rent the Hunter and the San Juan 21 unfortunately the Wave doesn't get rented too much. Before this program there was no way to rent a boat affordably anywhere. Our insurance is through a US Sailing Program. Rentals aren't cheap but you do have to cover the overhead.

Mike, do you have a call in number and conference code for the meeting?

Quick reminder about tomorrow's meeting:

Saturday, Oct 19, 11:00-12:30 EDT.

Phone details were sent to the committee members (and class leaders, etc.).

The final agenda will be posted later today, and will include the call-in details. I'll post a link here later today or early tomorrow.

Please plan to join us, as we have some interesting things to discuss.

Mike

Will try to call in, should be driving from Tampa to Sarasota around that time.
