Officer and Directors Reports
Brent Boyle – Noted that he would not be able to attend the November 14th meeting. Steve Lowe said he also would not be able to attend. With both the Commodore and Vice Commodore absent it was suggested moving the meeting to November 7th, and push the start time of the Regatta start time back to 2:00 pm.
Lynn Easley – The club received several positive comments from people commenting on how it was nice to see sailboats out on the lake.
Ben Hooks – Asked about using a buoy to mark a race course on the main section of the lake. The club does have the buoy, the issue would be having someone to set it before the race. Ideally it would be set using a power boat by someone that wouldn’t be racing. Who would be able to do it was still an open question.
