5. Remarks from the Commodore
The mission for the next year is fleet building; try to build up some fun events; do something in the winter; basically reach out and make a community.  We also need to get better lines of communication.  Buzzard – I can’t and won’t do all the work myself, I’ll break down the list of things to do to make it easier for everyone to pick a small thing to do.

6.  New Business
    a. Fleet Dues – lots of discussion; not getting value for $25 but we do have
          expenses to the Division (~$190/yr) and a trailer of gear.  Also don’
          want to nickle and dime people at events.  Motion to make individual
          dues $15 and family dues $20.   Seconded.   Motion passes.
    b. Buzzard Date – July 19/20 in New Bedford because of Lipton Cup
         weekend before and HYC Regatta weekend after. Need to send a letter
         to the Parks Dept asap; what/when is LTYC’s regatta
    c. Learn to Sail/Come sail a Cat Day – early June, hopefully in New
          Bedford, try to get Boston Ski Club in on it early
    d. Fun events

Other beaches mentioned: Plymouth Beach, don’t need permission; Lynn/Nahant; Morrisey Blvd to Winthrop; Charles River with the Community boating; YMCA in Mattapoisett, take the kids out 1 day;
