Update… Fall 2019 Fleet Meeting & Dinner

This is an update to the previous post, which may be read here.

Good morning Etchells sailors. 

Our Fall Meeting is being held Tuesday, Nov. 12 starting at 5:30 PM at the Portland Yacht Club.  Our Social Officer Charlotte Kinkade is our host for the potluck dinner and she can be reached at 807-3545 or her new email address of [email protected] which coincides with her new job at East Coast Yacht Sales.  If you have not contacted her to sign up for an appetizer, main dish, side, or dessert, or you wish to help set up the PYC for the event, please reach out to her in the next few days.

Ann Blanchard will have her newest Etchells slide show and the hotly desired 2020 Etchells Fleet 27 calendars available as well.

Trophies have arrived and we will see who Past Captain Chris Morin rewards with a variety of awards for their 2019 honors. 

We have a few items to discuss, as well and the Agenda is attached for your review.  A message from your International Association concerning Class Rules modifications is provided elsewhere on the website (click here to read it); please review and be ready to discuss them at our meeting. 

I look forward to seeing all of our Etchells sailors, family, and friends at our end of season event. 

Thank you.
Tim
