Spring Series Week 3 – May 22, 2018
Greetings ALCA Members – if you believe the folklore which says that if it rains on Easter Sunday, expect 7 weeks of rain…are we at week seven yet?? LOL
The constantly changing weather forecast for Tuesday evening looks promising but a little chilly… 65 degrees with a 10% chance of rain and a light (8mph) WNW wind should make for an interesting night. Dan Troup is our Race Chair extraordinaire with Keith Mortlock, Chad Lenczycki and myself as Committee Boat volunteers.
Watch for email and facebook updates with racing conditions. If racing is cancelled, join us at Brewsters, 5135 Portage Road about 7:00 pm. If we race, we will gather there immediately after racing is completed for the nightly results.
I’ve emailed the most current Membership Directory and membership application. Since we have not raced yet, you still have time to submit your membership application and dues for the 2018 season. I will have limited copies at Brewsters tomorrow night but you can print, fill out and bring the application along with your dues tomorrow night. After Memorial Day, if you have not paid your dues I will move your name to the Directory’s Non-member 2018 list and you will be removed from the fleet emails.
If your name is listed under the CC: of the email, it’s because you did not join last year and this will be your last email from the club for 2018. Please consider joining, if just as a social member.
Looking ahead:
Summer Series Committee Boat and Volunteers are needed. There are several open dates and we will have hard copies of these lists tomorrow night at Brewsters for you to sign up. You can see what the Committee Boat needs are by going to the Committee Boat link.
Summer Float Party – looking at either Sunday, July 29 or Sunday, August 5 for this fun event. Let us know if you have a preference.

Attached is the 2018 Directory and a Membership form to fill out and bring if you haven’t joined yet with your check to pay when we gather after sailing at Brewsters, 5135 Portage Road (or at 7:00 if racing gets cancelled). Brewster’s Fine Food & Spirits
