Season Schedule

Ahoy Members,

No matter what your feelings about the current events in this country, I believe it is time to heal, change and move on. In my mind our club, as well as our boats, should be a refuge from everyday life, and should play a bigger role in our lives than sickness and unrest.

It is time to get this season started, keeping in mind all our safety and concerns. With that, we posted the 2020 season schedule in the main menu of our website. Most regular annual events have been canceled, but in their place we encourage excursions in groups of vessels to local and distant destinations as fresh new adventures that will feed our conversations for years to come.

 This difficult year also brings with it concern for our adopted charity “The Toy Lending Center.” In place of the TLC event, I would like to propose a race sponsorship solution at two levels. First, any vendor, individual, or group is welcome to make a donation to the TLC and receive in return sponsorship recognition on our website (logo with link or phone to their business). Second, I would encourage members to solicit donations at some dollar amount per mile sailed, maybe for a race, or even the whole season. All donations are fully tax-deductible and 100% of the money goes to the charity. Should we have an entry or two in the ALIR, we could also do a sponsor per mile option.

I hope everyone is well. Let us do our best to remain disciplined about taking safety precautions to minimize risk.

Racing begins next Saturday. I am looking forward to the competition.

We are always open to new ideas and enhancements. Feel free to post your comments to this post, and if you have any difficulty logging in, contact me for help.

 Sincerely,
