I understand missing the in-person meetings but through the winter, with the short days and often rainy nights, I prefer the online meetings.  I am less likely to attend when the driving conditions are unfavorable.

I really appreciate the spring and fall flings, and other get-togethers for more socializing.  The new member paddle with the pizza afterwards that we had this year was another great way of mixing the new members with the longer term members.

I can see both sides of this one.  Personally I prefer in person, the online meetings resemble my work too much.

 

However, the online one makes it so no-one has to travel anywhere, so a big plus in its favour.

I am missing in-person meetings George.

I understand that it is much easier to connect by online means. However, the feeing of interacting with fellow members is so much more when you can mix and chat for real.

My preference would be to have an in-person meeting in a central location 2-3 times per year. I think we need some face to face interaction between new members and long time members. Difficult to meet new members over zoom.

[George Prevost]

Members of the executive sometimes hear requests that the club return to holding monthly meetings in person rather than on Zoom.  What are your thoughts?  Do you have a preference?  If so, what are your reasons?

Does anyone still own a Necky Tahsis and be willing to lend it to me for 3 weeks in September (exact dates unknown at this time)? Or similar low volume boat (depth 12″) and it must be 17′ to qualify.

Hi Quirine,

I will bring Salmon Hors D’oeuvres. I will put it on crackers when I get there so they are not soggy.

Thanks, Bob Maher

Hi Everyone!

The date is drawing near and based on comments from previous years we’d like to ensure people don’t get too hungry waiting for the buffet to officially open.
If anyone hasn’t yet decided on what to bring it would be most appreciated to have an extra appetizer or 2 to arrive at the party at 5:30pm.
Please let us know if you are able to provide this!

[Nick Heath]

Good question, Katie! My email is treasurer2 (at) skabc.org but I’ll message you separately, too.

[Admin S. Jensen]

Update: this is filling up so if all spots are booked, email the webmaster if you’d like to be on a waitlist. We will likely have more spots as the date approaches.

[Katie Meredith Kovacic]

How should interested people reach out? I’d be keen to volunteer as crew.
