The combination of a beautiful day and evening brought members out in force for the general meeting in the morning and the opening reception in the evening. Commodore Nancy Custer Carroll opened the meeting with a special recognition of past commodores and members who sadly are no longer with us. We have been blessed to have had these exceptional members who gave so much of themselves in support of the club.

We have 20 new members, some of whose names are very familiar as they are the next generation of long standing current members. The names are posted in the club so be sure to welcome them when you see them. The Flag Officers were present and reported on their contributions and plans for the upcoming summer. Committee chairs reported on the state of the building, upcoming events and plans for the future. Of special note, the sign up sheet for the upcoming lobster bake on July 2 is on the board. Be sure to put you name in soon as this event is very popular.

The sailing classes began last Monday and all classes are fully subscribed. Mother Nature was kind and gave the new sailors a warm sunny morning to take the plunge.

Your rosters are available and are in boxes in alphabetical order. There are also some very classy and complete calendars for your use for the summer.
