Lesson's Learned from last year's JO

Aimee from BCSC was kind enough to share the lesson's learned presentation she made about hosting last year's JOs. Here is the link to her presentation. Let's all review prior to next month's meeting so that we can actively discuss it as input to making the RHYC JOs awesome!

Shuttle Service for Overflow Parking

Did anyone else see the post on Facebook? "Lankford Bay Marina is beginning operation of its very own bus service to and from Rock Hall. The service will operate daily from May 1st until the end of boating season. For details about schedules and rates contact Lankford Bay Marina..." What do you think about me contacting them to see if they would sponsor shuttle service for the JOs between RHYC and the overflow parking?

P.R. - Calendar Release

A new Calendar Press Announcement and photo (attached) has just been sent to regional media outlets (newspapers, magazines, etc.) in hopes of getting in their calendar listings and editorial plans. We've also sent this information to yacht clubs in 4 states and class association contacts to try to get on their websites and newsletters.

Please send any contacts (name, email, organization) who need this info to Jan Ross (email in sidebar). If you have good photos from junior sailing events that are approved for use on the web and/or the press please send those along with a caption, too! thanks. JR

Friday Night Fun Activities

Harry has organized Geoff Becker, the previous sailing coach from Washington College to host a rules racing seminar on Friday night. Way to go Harry! We'd like the club to organize a kid friendly meal and therefore benefit from the food sales. Also, what do you think of a schedule for the evening that includes the rules seminar first followed by the movie that Sailing Emporium is hosting at the club(along with ice cream). We'll need it to be dark for the outdoor movie anyway. Feedback is greatly appreciated!

Fund Raiser

Carol had an excellent idea. What if some of the kids and volunteers assist the kitchen staff in hosting a dinner. Proceeds could benefit the JOs and we could auction off some of the key donations that Carol has secured that would be more appropriate to local people.
