·        Bruce had a recently produced videotape which he, Pam, Roger and additional club members were involved in creating on Lake Champlain last season.  The theme was family adventures and sailing.  A preview can be seen by clicking on http://www.visual-thinking.com.  Next, click on the trailer sailor icon.  It provided excellent insight into using a spinnaker and certainly sparked everyone’s interest in sailing on Lake Champlain.  Barbara also shared a tape of she and Roger’s early sailing days which displayed some highly competitive sailing maneuvers. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

·        A change in scheduling with the Nashua Country Club prevents us from having our normally scheduled Saturday meeting.  Instead…..the Annual MOANE meeting will be next Sunday, Jan 21st in Tynsboro, MA at Jacoppi’s Colonial Tyng Manor (restaurant).

Details will be sent to all members under separate cover.

 

·        Tentative officer line-up for the 2001 season was the core discussion of the meeting.  There are multiple opportunities for active roles in the club.  Remember,  attend the annual meeting on January 21st and submit your nomination, cast your vote and above all..…have some fun.  There will be no problems with chads or unpunched ballots.
