 It's time to pick up your racing flags - from Rear Commodore Paul Brennan__________________________________________________________________
Those of you who didn't pick up flags at our Racing Awards night can pick them up from the club anytime the office is open (this week until Friday, at the Levee, or starting again in January on weekdays and during work parties). The office is also usually open in the evenings when the club is open.
You've earned them -- pick them up and decorate the house with them, or, if you're handy, sew them into a quilt, or even a heavy-air chute! |
 PSAs from the SVC from - Sr. Vice Commodore Patrick Flynn______________________________________
(We're getting as bad as the army for TLAs)
#1. If you are intending to downgrade or resign your ABYC membership, you must advise the Senior Vice Commodore in writing before midnight, December 31st. #2. You must complete your membership contribution requirement by the end of the year. The MCC is breathing life into a new online system to make this process more transparent for 2013 but it is entirely your responsibility to find the hours needed. There will be bills. |
Update from Member Contribution Committee
- From Jamie Donaldson
____________________________________________________________________________________
Hi everyone! A brief report before we head for sunny climes over Christmas week.
We have compiled the hours reported on blue cards through Dec 15. I have posted the list (updated through Dec 8) in the signal room, listed by member name. The total hours reported through Dec 15 has been sent to Lidia and to Pat Flynn. Please submit any additional hours in time so I can make a final report to the Board early in the New Year.
From the Committee, and from the crew of fleur du lac - a very happy holiday season! See you in 2013!

 ABYC Race Video
___________________________________________
Now that the cold weather is moving in and sailing locally is over, we thought we would treat ABYC racers with a video taken during the Vertigon/Whiplash Challenge Race held on September 15, 2012. The video was taken by Dawn Carey ( Whiplash) and will be especially appreciated by the crews of Plum Danish and Excalibur. Have a look and enjoy. Unfortunately YouTube inserted an annoying commercial Ad at the beginning but just click on "Skip Ad" and it will be gone. Make sure you watch in "Full Screen" mode. om/watch?v=0ZvseMLg4bc |
ANNUAL CASA BALLMAN PARTY
&
GIVE YOUR BOAT A HUG DAY
Saturday, December 29, 2012 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
With the Festive Season upon us there are many reasons to be focused on other events and not pay any attention to our boats until spring. They do need some tender loving care so come on down to the Club on Saturday, December 29, 2012, check out how you boat is weathering the early winter and join us in Casa Ballman for hot soup, nibblies and refreshments. Contributions of left over Christmas edibles are always appreciated.
While the Club House is closed this day, the Casa Ballman furnace is fired up and provides all the warmth that is needed.
