CAPTAIN ─ NANCY SHIVERS
At last Wednesday’s Board Meeting it was decided to keep 5 charities from last year and added a new charity called the Chamber of Hope. We now have 6 charities:
The Chamber of Hope,
The Christmas Toy Shop,
Sallie’s House,
The Pace School for Girls,
Music Sweet Music, and
the Free Clinic.
The Salty with the connection to each charity can make a 5 minute speech about their charity or you can get someone from the charity to make the introduction for you. The schedule for the presentations are available as follows:
November 16th:…..1 charity scheduled
November 30th……2 charities scheduled
December 7th……..open for 2 charities
Jim Waters approached us to sponsor a boat in the upcoming lighted boat parade. If anyone wants to decorate a boat in the parade it will be on the 10th of December.
GUESTS: No guests today.
CO-CAPTAIN ─ SANDY RIPBERGER
We had good wind today and had several people take out Sonars to work on spinnaker practice. Janet Walker had an innovative way to work the pole which they all tried out. We also had one Ideal go out today.
The Mother Ducky races were also held today. Coming up, next week we will have the same….Mother Ducky race continuation plus Sonar and Ideal sailing. The following week the pram series will continue and finish. If you have missed any of this pram series, please come out as we have already put in 5 races and the rules say that if we put in 7 races you can drop 2 for your scoring.
On December 7th we will have the Candy Cane Race.
