Greetings ALCA and Friends!
The 2021 officers met by ZOOM last week to start planning the 2021 sailing season.  The first scheduled race is planned to be May 4th, which is the first Tuesday in May.  We still have yet to define the Spring and Summer sailing seasons, and for this we will need your input!   2020 Members, pay attention to your email which will have a survey to respond to. 

There will be no Spring kick-off this year.  Hopefully with the increase in COVID-19 vaccinations and a decline in infections, we will be able to meet sometime this summer!  At least for the Spring Series, we will not be gathering after racing, rather Andy Lenczycki, our Statistician, will have a ZOOM meeting for the results.  

Next, the officers are planning a tuning/get ready to race day – probably the weekend prior to the start of racing.  The details have not been ironed out yet, so stay tuned.  

See attached for our ALCA-membership-form-May-2016, available as a PDF or Word doc.  If you’d like to join now (highly suggested), print, complete the form and mail or drop off to Faith Akert.  Please, if you have any questions about the fee structure, do not hesitate to ask.  Ideally, the officers would appreciate all boats on the water to be active members of the fleet to streamline scoring.  

Lastly, we are in need of a fleet Secretary.  I am willing to serve as Commodore and Secretary, however, this is a lot of work!  This year is a good opportunity for someone new to step in and fill this position, taking over partial responsibilities and learn.  The duties of the secretary as written in the ALCA by-laws are: 
Secretary – The Secretary shall keep accurate minutes of meetings and take all correspondence.  The Secretary shall also be responsible for updating the by-laws and for  working with the Principle Race Officer to ensure that the racing guidelines are up to date.
Please reply to me if any of you are interested and we could get started!  
Happy Spring!Kathy RubinoCommodore ALCA Fleet 519 (& Secretary for the time being)
