According to the estimated 150 and 200 attendees at the March 5th and April 9th SSC meetings, they were great fun and a good time for all. There were display booths, refreshments, lots of fine food, music, dancing, and boats for sale. Members and guests toured the docks, renewed friendships, and told fishing lies...er, stories.

"This new format for our general meetings is a lot more exciting than the old meetings" Cindy said. "There were members in attendance that we've never seen at general meetings before".
The Board of Directors has been looking for ways to get our membership more involved in Club activities. Mike Fogel suggested "Docktail Parties!" And, it caught on quickly. Additionally, the meetings were moved from Wednesdays to Friday evenings. Char said, "These are great, but in the future, we'll need committees to put them on. It's a lot of work!"
She's right!
If you missed the first two, be sure to come early to the next ones. The parking lots fill up quickly, and nearby street parking can handle a lot of cars, but an early arrival can save a long walk.
Thanks to all the vendors, volunteers, and Club members who came early, stayed late, brought food, cleaned up, and helped make these parties a success. Friday night produced 5 new memberships on the spot, with several applications carried out to send in later.
We're looking forward to seeing you at the next one. Keep an eye on the calendar on our Home Page.
