Year End Thoughts

I cannot believe the year has come to and end and we are about to welcome in the New Year.  I have to say, it has truly been a pleasure to be your Commodore this year.  I have grown as a leader, made life-long connections and learned more than you could ever imagine about our organization and it's members. 

Our year was made up of 4 On-The-Water events, 12 General Meetings, 2  Philanthropic events, 12 Community events, 2 Education events, Racing and a few pop-up sailings!  We also grew our membership from 102 to 159!  Of course, this was only accomplished with the help of our incredible members as organized by your board.  No wonder the year flew by.  Whew!

I hope you to see you all in the new year and that you will continue to provide support to our new Commodore, Shelley Furse.  It's not too late to renew for next year at our discounted rate.  Look for the membership section below and click on the link. 

In closing, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa and a very Happy New Year!

Ahoy Friends!

I’d like to take a moment and thank you all for the privilege of being your Rear Commodore this year. Together we faced some challenges: meeting remotely via zoom for a few months, then meeting simultaneously in person and on zoom to best serve our members. We had geographic challenges as we were unable to secure meeting space in Newport Beach on Tuesday nights, so I very much appreciate all of you who joined us live despite the drive to Dana Point, and those who joined us virtually! I hope that you have enjoyed our guest presenters and that you found the broad range of meeting topics to be of interest to you.

I was new to the Board of Directors last year and it was a wonderful experience. I strongly encourage you to consider joining the leadership team – after all, this is YOUR club!

I hope I see all your lovely faces at the Holiday party next week. If for some reason you are not able to join us there, I wish you and your loved ones a season filled with grace and joy.

I look forward to seeing you soon!
