February Newsletter

Hello Wheel & Keelers, 

For those of you who missed the installation dinner on Jan 4th, it was a great time and you were missed. Wade did a great job as MC and swore in the new 2026 Bridge: 

Commodore: Darrin Wisbey                                                                                  Vice Commodore: Clark Lavigueure                                                                      Rear Commodore: Roger Draper                                                                          Treasurer: Heidi Wisbey                                                                                        Membership Coordinator: Sherry Draper

Item 1

Vicki has asked that I send out a reminder about the Shakedown Cruise with BYC. Folks will need to sign up on the BYC website link so they can get a headcount of who's going.  If you have questions, reach out to Vicky at  olsonvj@aol.com

Here's the link  2026 Shakedown Cruise to Cap Sante Marina.

Item 3. 

Normally our meetings are the 2nd Thursday of a non-boating season month. Since I was reminded of the meeting yesterday (Thanks Kathy) I'd like to postpone it until next Thursday, 6pm at BMR. This will give our treasurer a chance to get the financials prepared. 

All for now and hope to see you next week!

Commodore Darrin
