The meeting was called to order by President Adam Henley

Kathy Grace gave a synopsis of upcoming events sponsored by the Wooden Boat Foundation.  They sponsor the Shipwright’s Regatta on Feb. 20th and the Classic Mariners’ Regatta which will be held June 4 – 6.  Kathy Grace , Guy Hupy and Chris Grace are spearheading an effort to increase attendance for these events.  They hope to decrease the fees required as well as increase the fun.  Kathy made available an application for the Shipwright’s Regatta.  They deserve all the support we can give them for these special events.
