CLUB HISTORIAN LOG - JACKIE
GURLEY
In the last few
months the Carter Lake Sailing Club members have lived through a critical
chapter in our history. I look forward
to getting with Carrie and Bob Carlson (who took copious notes) to write a
summary of what we learned, what we feared, and how we worked through the
challenge. It has been a pleasure to get
back to a review of the past history and the basis of the culture and
facilities that we recently fought for and preserved!
I have spent time
the past week reading the complete history—the notes and LOGS from 1953 to the
present. In light of the recent
challenges to the club, I appreciated the rich culture of “lively discussions”
where decisions are argued from diverse perspectives and made in the best
interest of the club, a willingness to make changes that meet the needs and
improve the club, and an on-going commitment to the joy of sailing and the
value of the club to individuals, families and friendships. Of course, refreshments were ever-present,
and would often include hot chocolate and cookies in the early years! In short, rereading the history confirmed to
me that we have stayed true on the path toward preserving the club for future
sailing enthusiasts. As Emmy Koehler
said in 1960, the future of the club is “One for all and all for one. Everyone holds the future in his hands, and
cooperation and responsibility are the watch words.”
How, though, shall
I share this extensive history? People
have asked me to summarize years or topics.
I have made some timeline notes on the history of the clubhouse, the
racing, the docks, the workdays, the social events, the dues and costs
incurred, the rules and regulations and the committee structure. Please let me know what aspects of the
history you would like me to summarize and share. Lynn Kieser also has a copy of the complete
history, and she and I plan to collaborate on the writing ahead. Hopefully, we can continue to bring our
colorful and eventful past alive. Let us
know if you want to read the history for yourself—we are willing to bring any years club members want to borrow.
While I wait for
feedback from the membership and the e-board, I will share the last two
installments of the original history from 1960.
Emmy Koehler had written the first “seven-year history”, and in the last
installment, the membership had finally decided to stay at Carter.” We begin then, in 1955:
HISTORY OF THE
PART III
With our second
annual meeting in October 1955, we re-inaugurated the pleasant habit of the
1940’s to combine this with a dinner.
The most furious discussion on that day centered about the raising of
the dues, but finally $3.00 for single and $6.00 for family membership was
adopted. Even through by that time we
had only three perpetual trophies (all donated) a motion to buy additional ones
was defeated.
The winter
discussions of 1955/1956 centered around finding a club burgee (thanks to Polly
Beam we found it), the purchase of a 15’aluminum dinghy, the charging of an
appropriate initiation fee for new members; in the end the members did break
down and purchase 2 additional perpetual trophies after Don Hughes had donated
his Commodore’s Cup (dating back to the Mile High Boats Association) for second
place in the regatta.
The year 1956/57
saw us holding an open meeting with displays, talks, and films to interest new
members. The dock was enlarged, for the
first time application blanks for new members were used and the newly revised
by-laws were adapted. On
In the year
1957/58, it was decided that the Commodore shall appoint the committee chairmen
instead of them being elected at the annual meeting. We joined the N.A.Y.A; we accepted the lease
of

RACE COMMITTEE LOG - BRIAN JONES
I have updated the
racing section of the club website with the complete 2003 race results, and the
2004 race schedule, and a RC sign up sheet (read only). The schedule consists of 24 "RC
days" which is equal to the average number of club racing skippers for a
season. If every racing skipper signs up
for one day as race committee PRO (primary race officer), we should have an
equitable system for RC coverage for the entire season. Hope to see all the
graduates of the great 2003 rookie program out there!
Race Meeting Notice:
All club members
and crew interested in the club racing program are invited to the
Seminar Notices:
RMSAIL
Racing Seminar on January 21st at Brooklyns in
RMSAIL Race
Management Seminar on March 20th, location TBD.

SLIPS COMMITTEE LOG - MIKE
MORGAN
Well, since
everything was settled with the county we need to start planning for next
season. The water level of the lake is rising so we will need to pull the
Breakwater in sometime this month. We will also need to replace two of the
anchor weights that were lost in a wind storm in early November. I will send
out an e-mail when we are going to try to get these projects completed.
Hopefully we can take care of both of them at the same time.
We will also be
having a workday in March to repair the slips. The slips are in pretty good
shape but they need some wood and rub rail replaced. I think we should be able
to get all of the work needed taken care of in one day.

CLUBHOUSE COMMITTEE LOG - DALE QUAKENBUSH
There
is not much to report on the clubhouse this month. We had a great time on movie
night. A small turn out with nine
members attending but a great time with a warm fire and good food followed by
the movie White Squall. I do need to sail on a big sailing ship some day.
I
missed my introduction last month for the new members so here it is. I am a single parent with one daughter at
home, Amanda. I have been sailing for 6 years on my holder 14. I also have a
panther (like a sunfish). My real
passion is crewing on racing boats, working with wood and eating. So you will see me on most race days,
workdays and at the front of the line at potlucks. This is my third year with the club and my
second as Clubhouse Chair. I am open for comments and suggestions any time as I
am just getting a feel for this committee job.
A
HUGE thank you to all who helped and worked so hard this fall in getting the
lease with the county finalized. Here’s to the best year ever of sailing,
camaraderie, potlucks & camping.
See you at the winter meeting in February.

Special Committee: Junior Olympic Festival - IVAN ANDRADE<span style='font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:13.5pt'>
I have been
appointed as Special Committee for the express purpose of promoting, developing
and coordinating the Junior Olympic Festival (JO) by the commodore on
The US Sailing
website calendar is updated with a link to CLSC website regarding the Junior
Olympic Festival. CLSC website has nothing at all at this time for JO visitors.
It would be good to have a header on the main page for this event, my first
choice, or from the Junior Sailing page. The reasoning for it from the first
page is so visitors don't have to hunt around too much in the not to distant
future for all the info needed such as Notice of Race, Sailing Instructions,
Course diagrams, registration & waiver forms, medical consent forms,
suggestions for lodging, maps to the area, etc., and all the other pertinent
information for pulling off a top notch event. I leave the decision of it's
placement to you and the eboard.
There are specific
guidelines for the use of provided graphics files. JPEG files are suitable for
websites while eps will be used for printed promotional material. Attached are
the US Sailing, West Marine and Gill official logos to be used expressly on the
JO Festival page and no where else. The 2003 JO Festival JPEG file is provided
just FYI. A 2004 logo will be available shortly.
