A beautiful fall day provided the backdrop for this year’s club closing and fall membership meeting on October 29th.

The Sailin’ Sisters started off the morning by hosting a pancake breakfast fundraiser.
Their bellies full, industrious club members worked with their respective crew chiefs accomplishing a lot in a short period of time.  Crew chiefs, who with their crews, completed the following  projects:

• Bruce Liese – installed 20 – 30 new cleats on the distal section of Rodeo
• Bob Sharkey – winterized the docks
