March 2026 Newsletter

Happy March everyone, hopefully Spring is just around the corner. Thanks to everyone who attended our membership meeting on the 19th. It was a short, fun meeting and the food was great. I encourage members to participate in these meetings (in person or via Zoom) as your input is vital to our success as a group. It also gives us a chance to socialize "out of the water". 

We welcomed Sundance Benjesdorf and his family as new members. 

Another tidbit of info is that registration for the Shakedown Cruise is closed as it is at capacity. If you'd like to get on a wait list, please contact Vickie Olson @ olsonvj@aol.com.

Attached are the minutes from our last meeting. Please give them a quick review as we will be voting to approve them at our next meeting, March 12th. at BMR. Potluck dinner starts at 6 and the meeting starts at 6:30. I'd also like to get the 2026 Budget approved.

A great suggestion was made at the meeting that we highlight a boating family throughout the year in these newsletters. 

This month, we'd like to highlight Char & Ken Malseed. 

Char joined in the W&K in 1983 with her late husband Bob Kehoe. After Bob's passing, Char was introduced to Ken in 1990, and they were married June 15th, 1991, at the Roche Harbor "Bottom Fishing Derby and Wedding."Since 2015, Char has making Knitted Knockers breast prosthetics. Ken started stuffing KKs in 2020. He has stuffed 20,240. 

Thank you for everything you do for our community and club.
