J.P. Turgeon, Andy Sajor, Don Duley, Tim McCormick, Dee and Chuck Surber.
The Omnium Committee has
generously given funds to the Valcour Sailing Club in the amount of $325.00 for
use of committee boat, gasoline, and other race course supplies.
A positive feedback has been reported to J.P. from sailors who took part
in the Omnium Race, with hopes to have an even more successful weekend of races
for 2010.
Andy has received various
comments and suggestions about racing, the club, etc. this year.
He’ll be sending out an open e-mail to all members for feedback on
these various topics which will be gone over at the Fall Banquet.
Ballots may be sent out to VSC members
for comments members might have. Absentee
ballots will also be available for those who cannot attend.
Andy has suggested reintroducing a Lake Champlain Conference for a summer series of six races of which clubs on the lake would possibly host two apiece. This would hopefully bring more families, friends into the racing scene to help boost memberships, and encourage young sailors to explore sailing in a fun venue.
Don Duley has submitted a report
as of September 21st,2009. Payments
have begun for the used engine on the Committee boat.
Dues have been collected by all members except one.
The PBB has offered a free slip for the Committee boat for the 2010
season.
Andy will update Don of supplies
needed for the club season and committee boat.
Don will submit a maintenance budget for the 2010 season at the next VSC
meeting. A draft budget for social
events will also be presented along with the new fee schedule for next year.
Members will be encouraged to begin dues payment over the winter months
if they choose.
Tim will begin collecting trophies for engraving of this years’ winners. Anyone who has or knows the whereabouts of trophies can e-mail or call Tim to arrange pick-up of the trophies.
Committee members have
tentatively chosen a date of November 20th for the Fall Banquet.
Tim will be checking with The Barracks for a possible venue again this
year. More information will be
posted once Tim has finalized arrangements.
Prompt responses for RSVP’s will be encouraged.
“White Sail “ new members will be invited to the Fall Banquet . Name tags will also be available for all banquet attendees which will have the boat sailed on and the members name. This will help new members identify each of us.
A nominating committee will be
putting together a list of potential nominees for the 2010 VSC Committee.
Kjell Dahlen will be working with Brian Dowling or Eddie Trombley to
bring forth the list at the Fall Banquet.
Craig Meyerson has offered to maintain the VSC website for 2010.
Andy will work on hauling out the Committee boat, winter storage, mark removals before the next meeting. Anyone interested in helping can contact him.
J.P. has suggested sending interested members to U.S. Sailing sponsored “Sailing Seminar” next spring. Members who attend could then bring back knowledge for sailing club members.
J.P. has contacted Mr. Gagnier
for his help in attaing a “Zodiac” dinghy for the VSC club.
This would be useful in moving marks and other sailing club activities by
not having to move the Committee boat during races.
More information will be brought forth by J.P. at a later date.
