CONTEST No,
this is not a wet T-shirt contest. At
its August meeting the CSC board decided to make up new Club T-shirts (as
opposed to shirts for various regattas and the like.)
The board will accept designs from
members. Designs
must be submitted by the next board meeting, on September 3rd.
Designs can be submitted on hard copy or a jpg file emailed to Bob
Harrington. Fire up your
creativity and see your design immortalized on the backs of intrepid
sailors. RACING

STATUS Clancy
McKenna, Pier Rear Commodore, has achieved 90% usability of davits.
No one can recall such a high percentage.
Clancy’s efforts have resulted in converting old davits from
storage facilities or worse to use by active club members.
Kudos to Clancy for his diligence in making the Club facilities
available to those who will use them. Please
see the two following items. These
are how Clancy gets his job done!
Davits
107 and 187 will be sold in a Silent Auction, which will close on Saturday,
August 17th at 12:00 noon. Davits will be sold in as-is condition to the
highest bidder. Sealed bids must include your name, address, phone number,
and amount of bid, and must be submitted in writing prior to the closing
date and time by......
Our June newsletter referenced the effort to identify all of the boats on the boat pads. We have several boats for which we are unable to identify the owners. In each case, no fees have been paid in 2002 for pad rental. Our June notice asked that the owners make themselves known so that the disposition of the boats could be decided. As of this date, no one has come forward. This notice is a second and final attempt to locate owners. Ideally we will be able to return these boats or make the rental arrangements current. But if not, at the end of August the boats will be removed and sold or discarded. Please contact Clancy McKenna at davitregistrar@cscsailing.org or 972 231-4521 if you have any information. PAD
