Officer and Director Reports.
John Springer – Reported that TYC picked the same weekend for their regatta. Discussed whether we should change our date or go with the selected date. TYC will have their board meeting that evening, and John would gauge how much interest there is in cross participation. He also will send out an email to the people most likely to race to see if they have a preference. Possible dates would be the previously selected October 12th date , or alternative dates of October 26, or November 2nd.
Chuck Brazell – Discussed what would be the best day to have the open house day for sailing curious people. The Saturday race days would be too long of an event, and the Wednesday evenings are usually difficult to make for most people due to jobs and other commitments. A Saturday that doesn’t have a race event would probably be the best choice. Rich Munson suggested inviting some of the local news organizations for a local event story. We would also need other ways of getting the invitation out to the general public.
Rich Munson – Reported difficulty in securing a venue for the Christmas party, and would inquire at several restaurants in town and about Emerald Bay. It was later reported that he did manage to secure the location at Eagle’s Bluff for the evening of December 7th. John Springer suggested holding the annual meeting at an out of town location, possibly where ex-member Paul Lohr keeps his paddle boat. John will send out emails later to gauge interest in such an event.

Steve Lowe returned the call on one person that called the club’s telephone number and sent him an application via email. Lynn Easley responded to two website inquiries. One was local, and Dana was going to meet up with them on a Saturday, and the other one is looking to move to Tyler, and will probably contact the club when they are back down here.
Upcoming Social Events:
The next third Friday social will be held at the Happy’s Fish House on September 20th, at 6:00 pm. The Saturday Race series is scheduled for September 21, and with everyone back in town the Wednesday Night race series will be starting up soon.
