OLD BUSINESS
The Coast Guard ship, "Sequoia" will be arriving and should invite the crew to our meeting with dinner included.
We received approval from the Yuk for Commodore's Ball.
"Get in the Mix" was held, with success, and a nice display.
Membership drive coming up.
"New stereo" committee did not come up with a solution for the club stereo. A motion was made by Ed Zehr and seconded by Mike Nast for the club to purchase a stereo and components (not to exceed $1600)
NEW BUSINESS
Our finance books have been turned over, and need to be looked at by 3 members in the club. Mike Nast, Tom Dillion, and Peter Barbella volunteered.
Community wants to use the Yacht Club facilities, so a facilities user registry was started with a fee of $36.00 for non-members and a $50.00 cleaning deposit
Received approval from small boat marina to use the first Quonset hut for storage.
Need someone to take over the sunfish hut, repair etc, and will set up a committee.

Coconut Cup will be held on March 25-27. We're working with Robert Reimers for a 10% discount for bungalows. Over 30 boats will be participating.
The agenda will be as follows:
Sarah Stepchew proposed buying a dinghy for the Yacht Club to own for safety and general use. Suggested forming a committee to take care of it.
Thank you and good luck to Wendy and Garth who will be leaving us soon.
