Mike thanked the members for willingness to make the last minute change from the West dock to the East dock.

The 2010 cruise schedule was addressed and the club would like to get our schedule into CRYA in a timely manner.

Ideas for next year:
• Members were asked to think of new cruising destinations for 2010 and to submit that info to the Board. We will draft a new schedule with dates and locations for members input to be review at November’s cruise.
• Dan suggested the crab festival in Astoria.
• A different member hosting cruises next year. Karen put it out there and all members were in favor.
• Udo brought up making one of next years’ cruises up through the dam and anchor in Government Cove. The member’s thought that Labor Day weekend would be the best time for that trip and there was a lot of support for that cruise.

Bev and Carolyn Carlson volunteered to be next years Swap Meet organizers.

Members are to contact either Bev or Kristina for 2010 officer nominations. We will vote on line, per usual, no dates as of this time.

It was moved and seconded that Kristina for keeping the website current would receive a cash stipend.

Peter volunteered for Vice Commodore of Sail position.

Tom volunteered for Commodore.

Would like to have 2010 cruise schedule to CRYA by November cruise.

It was moved and seconded that the club would purchase a new canopy.

It was suggested to purchase a grill for club use. The club just sold the grills that we had so it was a no for a grill. Karen said that three members having grills are willing to provide for club use at the outing.

It was moved and seconded that the club would donate $100 toward the Christmas Ship event, to help cover expenses, i.e.; insurance.

The Halloween cruise was brought up and as to who would be attending. There were 3 boats planning on attending. Jon Bake wants those members/boats to have some sort of booth. Those members will come up with there own plan.

There will not be a holiday party this year, due to the lack of attendees. The Club will have a party in January to welcome the new officers. Most members did not want a potluck. Cindy suggested Willamette YC, Tom suggested a Steak & Chop restaurant, Jon suggested to have a Sunday brunch.

Bev gave the treasurers report and the meeting was adjourned.
