At that Commodore time, the board will revisit whether to resume sponsored club activities. Cathy Talisman The club is open for members to use, including racing and cruising. Vice Commodore Roger Gilmore Physical distancing is the best prevention wherever you are. Remain vigilant. Rear Commodore If you see unfamiliar faces, kindly approach them and inquire if they are Jenn Buckley members and introduce yourself. If they are not, you can show them Secretary around, remind them this is a private club and suggest that they check Lisa Glaser our great website if they would like to join.

Assistant Treasurer "Hope is the last thing ever lost." —Italian proverb Marty Southard Stay healthy. Fleet Captain Pages 8 -18 contain wording and rationale for proposed bylaw changes. Bylaws serve as James Masson an overall framework for the organization and Board to follow, but does not provide for the day-to-day operational aspects of the organization. They state how the organiza- Board of Directors tion is to be governed and how the powers of the organization are to be exercised. The members vote on the Bylaws. Board Members 2019-2020 Policies lay out the ‘what’ and ‘why’ of the framework to carry out the work of the orga- Beth Berkobein nization. Policies form the written basis of operation secondary to legislation and the Doug Fuller organization's bylaws. The Board creates and votes on the adoption of the Policies. Ruth Peterson Procedures lay out the ‘how’ of getting things done by providing the organization step-by- step instructions on how to run the programs, services, and events for the organization. Patty Tishuk Sometimes procedures are extremely specific, sometimes they are more general - it depends Board Members 2020-2021 upon the situation.
