Greetings!

As with any election, there will always be two sides with two at least two opinions.  In the spirit of equal time, links will be provided to comments received regarding the motions or candidates in the upcoming election.  You'll find the links down below in the Election section. 

Starting in July, we'll be adding links on the Regatta Schedule page for registration forms or club sites where the information exists.  If your club does not have a website, I can post the documents for you.

As always, thanks for reading.
