Welcome to Spring!
The slips are
in and filling up, potlucks, the Spring Race Series, and Rookie Series all have
begun.
Just a reminder
that our club has the incredible activity level and commraderie
is does because of our work hours and volunteers (you!). We are still looking for Regatta help (see
Jeff Gruver), Junior Olympic help (Ivan Andrade), Junior Sailing Camp (David
and Marilyn Hughs) and need many more potluck hosts (Shannan Tenze). PLEASE take a look at the on line calendar
along with the roster and call or e-mail a committee head to offer your
help. Better yet? Please contact a new member to work with you
and show them the ropes. As we all learned
when we were new to the club: What you
put in to this club is what you get out of it.
Please take a
few minutes and log in to the secured section of the website. When you hit "home", look around at
the incredible format and changes that Steve Undy, our webmaster, has so
diligently been working on. There are
now many interactive sections, a printable roster, a photo section, important
updates on the main page..... and the changes keep coming!
A HUGE thanks to Steve for giving us the
technology to stay on top of things.

VICE COMMODORE LOG
– JEFF GRUVER
Greetings fellow sailors. I still
need a few more volunteers for the open regatta on June 5th and 6th. I need two more people to assist the caterer
on Saturday night and one or two for appetizer prep and trophy ceremony help. This is a fun way to log volunteer
hours. I also need any last minute
sweat-shirt orders by the 6th so I can get the order out in time. Just give me a call or E-mail if you have any
questions on color and size options.
I will
also have CLSC ballcaps available by mid month in
three different styles. I have burgees and
small burgee stickers that work great on car bumpers and boat transoms. Let's all fly our flag this season! After the regatta Steve Undy and I will set
up a "ships store" on the CLSC website where you will be able to view
all these fun trinkets. See you on the
lake.

COMFORT FOOD (n):
Certain distinctive foods that are reminiscent of childhood,
adolescence, less complicated times, and "Mom". Occasional indulgence in these foods by
adults is considered safer than drugs or alcohol and less expensive that
compulsive shopping.

calories, carbs and gourmet! Join us for an evening that recalls the
simple pleasures that food can bring.
The
club will provide Root Beer Floats, Hot Fudge Sundaes and Banana Splits. Club members will fill around the edges with
foods that cheer them up when the world is too tough.

Meatballs and Spaghetti, cheese dip and deviled eggs.))

SLIPS COMMITTEE LOG - MIKE
MORGAN
Well, it's
finally time to start sailing. I first would like to thank everyone that helped
on the Slip and Breakwater Put-In. The weather could have been better and I
appreciate everyone coming out in the cold.
For anyone
needing work hours, there are still a few projects that need taken care of on
the slips. There are some warped boards
on the South slips that need replaced. There is also a piece of rub rail on the
North Slips that needs reattached. Call me if you want to work on these and I
will tell you where the supplies are. These would make good week time projects
for those that can't make it up on scheduled weekend work days.
Have a nice
spring of sailing and I'll see you at the lake.
Later,
Mike

JUNIOR
OLYMPIC SAILING FESTIVAL
March 28 meeting was incredibly productive. Thanks to the input from Jim Jacobs, Rafe Ropek, Stan & Mat Strathman, Reagan Moragan, Laura & Kathy Stamets & Avana Andrade a solid marketing concept for the Junior Sailing Festival was decided on. A team effort to be sure, Jim Jacobs provided the needed connections for graphics, Rafe assembled the graphics into a wonderful image and Reagan handled the copy, proofing and reproduction. The final product is being distributed by the national organizers of JOSF as an excellent example for pr
