Dee Lundy - Commodore
Well Spring arrived, not that we would know it by the weather.  Between rain and snow, we uncovered "Deanna J" and  worked on her when weather allowed. Now she’s launched and getting ready for summer.
All of you who were at the Commodore's Ball know what a great job Rose & Barb did.
We are looking forward to a new season of sailing.  The racing and cruising schedules are made.  We hope you will look those schedules over, and join in the excitement of racing or just the fun of cruising.
Our Fun Race will be June 2 (Saturday).  I hope everyone will be there.  There will also be a membership meeting after the race.  There will be an important vote on an amendment to the constitution at that meeting. See page 5 for information.
I am sure that you are all busy getting your boats ready for another sailing season.
Looking forward to seeing you on the 2nd of June.
Commodore Dee Lundy “Deanna J”
