From the Fleet Captain

Good afternoon skippers/owners of Fleet 27,

Attached please find your notice for the upcoming Fall Meeting of the Fleet.  Once we have the Zoom meeting set up, you will be receiving your welcome to join us on Tuesday November 10 at 5:00PM.  You will also receive the Treasurer’s report and the Nomination Committees proposed slate of officers for the 2021 season prior to the meeting.

On a separate note, I have had several emails from National concerning dues.  In April, I had contacted National with our thoughts of a reduced 2020 season and inquired if national would entertain a dues reduction for this year.  Several days later, a resounding NO came back, they saw no reason to offer this.  All would be fine.

Now they find themselves in the red by several thousand dollars.  They are now offering a reduced 2020 dues of $140 (from $200) and also requesting those who wish to pay their dues for 2021 at the same time (and I assume they might actually bill owners more come the spring).  As our Fleet had only 3 members pay in 2020, I am sending a request to the rest of us to think about sending your checks to National for $140 or whatever you feel is warranted along with your $200 for 2021 before any changes occur.  My check for $340 went in the mail this afternoon.  I will forward copies of the statements from National a bit later today. 

Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Tim
