Remember to send all email or mailing address
changes to me. On that same note, I’ve
noticed some people have more than one email address. So when you send a
request for an email address change, please be so kind
as to tell me which one I’m to replace.
I’m not to good at guessing.

I don't know
about you, but I am past ready to sail....
It was great
seeing everyone at the boat show, hearing the race stories from
Just
a reminder that we are officially into the 2004 year as far as park passes are
concerned. The on line site through Larimer County is
not running at this time, so you will need to stop in the Bison Center to get
one. Please make sure you are in
compliance before entering the park, and that boats are required to have passes
attached to them before going in to the slips.
We have had a
bit of confusion with work hours, wait lists and bylaws this past winter. I will provide a quick clarification:
1. Memberships
are valid from March 15 through March 14 of the following year.
2. Work hours
run on a calendar year (January 1st through December 31st).
3. Wait lists
are maintained and assigned through the Membership Committee. You must be a member in good standing to be
placed on a wait list. This means fees, dues and work hours are in line. You also must be in good standing to keep
slips, campsites etc., and vote.
4. Membership applications must be filled out
and signed every year. The E-Board
proposes the fee structure at the Winter Membership Meeting each year. It is voted on by the full memberships in
good standing at that time.
The bylaws are
available on line and reflect all of the above items, as well as others. It is very important that we abide to
these. They are in place for a reason. If special situations arise, please contact a
Board Member for resolution, we also will entertain new bylaws/regulations as
well as amendments to the existing ones.
We are cleaning up the bylaws this winter, and each member will receive
a printed set after March 15th.
The Membership
Committee has e-mailed forms reflecting the proposed 2004 fee structure to it's members. If you
do not have e-mail, you will be mailed one.
It is assumed that if you are providing e-mail addresses to us that you
are okay with using this form to communicate by. If you want to use mail, please let Lana Lohe
know. The 2004 form is available on
line, but does NOT reflect the proposed fees structure for the 2004 season, as
it has not been accepted yet.
Whew! Well that is about it for now. Please make sure you go through the log...
We have lots of new things going on;
See you in a
few weeks!

VICE COMMODORE LOG
– JEFF GRUVER
Greetings from your
Vice-Commodore/Cabin Boy. Preparations are rolling along nicely for the
45 Annual Open Regatta. For new members and non-racers this is a very
fun weekend with a lot of energy and lots of opportunities to volunteer for
various positions. I'll have a sign-up
board at the winter membership meeting which will list the various positions
needed with a brief job description. If
you don't make the meeting and still want to help please E-mail or call.
The new regatta shirts will be
available at the winter meeting as well. I'll have short sleeve/long sleeve T's
and sweatshirts as well. Since I had my
fashion consultant/wife/snacktition with me there will be a variety of colors available
in the sweats that should appeal to the women in the club.
Prices will be; $15.00/basic T, $20/long sleeve T, and $30/sweatshirt.
Lets hear what the critics have to say; "These shirts
go well with seafood and fresh
fall flowers" - Martha
Stewart,
"I think they will make me sail faster" -Mike Wilson,
"These shirts will surely eclipse the popularity of the red Mount
Gay Rum racing
hats!" - Gary Jobson.
I have also had a calling for CLSC
burgees and will be taking an interest count at the winter meeting. Price quotes will be into me in the next few
days and I will have an accurate price at the meeting.
I look forward to seeing you all
there.

The work mostly will be washing and painting and general cleaning of the

The clubhouse will be available for members private use when not in use for club functions or

conflicts. the county is also requesting notification
of all parties so I will let them know when private parties are happening also.

that all county rules need to be followed in the CLSC area and club house so
make sure all guests have permits and know the rules.

The Task Force
made up of CLSC and
The meeting
covered various topics, including potential slip configurations, breakwater
options, possible amentias the County is interested in offering (e.g. a marina,
fuel service, a restaurant or food service, a store), work responsibilities and
trade-offs (Club members providing some services versus the County providing
all services) and the future of the CLSC Clubhouse and the potential of the
County building a community meeting facility.
The meeting essentially focused on information gathering and
exchanging. The County staff will
continue to review all of these topics and refine them for further
discussion. Another Task Force meeting
will be February 26th.

BOATS COMMITTEE LOG – STEVE
JOHNSON
The Race Committee
(RC) boat has been put under shrink wrap for the winter and is awaiting spring. For those who would like some work hours in
'04 please let me know and we can get together for a RC boat beautification day
before we put the boat in the water. A good waxing/buffing of the top side
would help a lot, along with a new coat of Gray paint on the aft floor and
engine cover (clean, sand, paint). We
also need to seal up the front cabin hatch and windows to keep the rain water
out of the bilge.
The Whaler
"Chick Magnet" will also need some spring cleaning as well.
THINK SPRING!
