Hard to believe it is that time of year again for the Annual Meeting. Hard to believe we may have an annual meeting with snow still on the ground! But here we go.

We will enjoy the hospitality of Bristol YC on Poppasquash Rd. in Bristol, RI, on Friday evening April 10th. The evening will start with cocktails and gathering between 5:30 and 6:00 followed by a buffet dinner catered by Russell Morin Fine Foods from Newport at 7:00. The menu is below. Cost will be $20/person.

We will have our meeting between 7:45 and 8:30 (ok, maybe 9:00). Agenda items include a brief state of the Association report, awards for 2014, approval of minor changes to the by-laws, election of a Board Of Directors slate, and topics from the floor.

Please call or email (best) Chris Healy, the Bristol YC steward, at either 401-253-2922 or at his email to let him know how many are coming in your party. You will pay by cash or credit card at the bar that evening.

I know Bristol is a hike for many of you. Believe me, I would love to have the meeting in a warmer clime! But Bristol in the epicenter of the sea sprite world, so it makes sense to have it here to maximize attendance.

It is always a fun night. What a way to say goodbye to Winter and welcome in the sailing season!

Hope you can make it.
