the friday program:
Sunstream Boat Lifts

Our speaker Friday was Ken Hey from Sunstream Boat Lifts.  Ken has created a very successful company that can lift boats in and out of the water quickly and easily. Ken talked to us about some of the challenges facing the boating industry.

Concerning trends over the last few decades:

Lack of water access

Tightening environmental concerns

Moorage waiting lists

Marinas and boatyards selling out to developers

Moorage costs increasing quickly

Changing Boat Culture:

Less time for boating

Boats are getting bigger and harder to trailer

Reduced patience for hassle

School Supply Drive

This year Youth Services has initiated a new program to assist Hopelink and The Salvation Army with their respective annual school supply drives. Members have expressed an interest in helping young children and this is a good start. According to Shelly Noble, the response of these underprivileged children at a school supply drive is something you'd expect to see at Christmas. 

If you wish to support this cause, please bring in physical school supplies or a check written to the BBRC. Shelly Noble and Kelly Nolan will be passing out the supplies a week from Friday so we essentially have two meetings to gather support.

Items most needed for distribution include:

big markers • pencil pouches or boxes • 3 ring binders • dividers • colored pencils • scissors • lined paper • backpacks

If you have any questions, please contact Nick Paget (at his NEW email address at Morgan Stanley).

Golf Outing Photos Finally Put in an Appearance

It was a drizzly day at Mount Si, but there was still evidence of a good time. John Mix, Golf Outing photographer, ran into some 'puter problems which following this event and was unable to provide photos for publication. The Monday following the Outing, John went in for knee replacement surgery, which caused further delay of photo publication. Everything is back on track now. John is on the mend and will soon report back for Editor Duty, and the Golf Outing photos are ready for viewing.
