· Jerry Gerlitski may not be able to do the Yearbook this year. May need a backup.

· Need to think about nominations for special awards ie:

  • ·         Spirit of Sailing,
  • ·         ESSA Promotional,
  • ·         Bluewater Cup,
  • ·         Great Shoals Lighthouse Award,
  • ·         Cruising Award

· Discuss membership requirements ie: we used to make people have a sponsor in the club, but we eliminated that in our last bylaws revision. Now, on the website anyone can join at any time and I'm not sure that is a great idea.
