Puget Sound Star Fleet Notes - Dave Watt

[Bruce Long]

All,

 

Thank you for attending this past Thursday night's annual Star Fleet at meeting at C.Y.C.  It was great seeing everybody, and having a chance to talk about our upcoming plans.  I was also terrific seeing Bill's notebook with a write-up and photographs from his recent Hall of Fame induction - thanks again Bill for sharing your experience with us!  Thank you also to Brian Watkins for attending the meeting, and for providing updates about potential changes to C.Y.C.'s race courses, and C.Y.C.'s overall status and membership growth strategy.
