    July 28, 2022 - By 

    It is the midpoint of the year and time for an update on the state of membership. As of this writing we have had 10 new memberships this year, which is exactly the same amount of new memberships we had this time last year. We currently have 270 memberships, including the aforementioned new memberships and 3 return. I would like to welcome the following new members this year:

    Tommy and Michelle Grant who are legacy siblings and children of long time members Bill and Kim Grant.

    Eamonn and Patricia Warren sailing an Ultimate 20

    Nathan and Rachel Hill who sail a San Juan 21 and a Greenwich 24

    Jeff and Kathleen Canfield sailing a Melges 15

    Ross and Mary Hedges sailing a San Juan 24

    Hank and Cindy Richardson sailing an S2 8.0

    Michaela Bell and Ian Croghan sailing a Flying Scot

    Jonathan Coffin and Sean Harrington sailing a Catalina 22

    Todd Bracken who currently has no boat at the club but runs a NauticEd associated sailing school over at Geist. If anyone is looking to get certifications he would be a good resource. http://www.dauntlesssailing.com/

    Everyone, enjoy the rest of the season!

    Publicity July 2022

    Looking for someone to take over the Publicity Chair position starting next year!   Responsibilities include putting together the Telltales once a month (during the sailing season), sending out emails to the membership, posting pictures on our Instagram account, and keeping the website updated.  I plan on teaching this new Publicity Chair everything they need to know.  I’ll also volunteer to be the assistant chair to help with the work. As with all Chair positions, this person will have their Membership Dues waived. 

    Please send an email to publicity@ecsail.org if you’re interested or would like to recommend someone.

    Technically the Publicity Chair has control of making all the ECSC merchandise & apparel, too.  But I plan to keep doing that since it’s fun.  So it’s up to whoever comes on board if they want to run the Ship Store, too.

    I am in the process of making a lot more softshell jackets (mens and womens style) as well as rash-guards and long-sleeve t-shirts.

    My Ship Store inventory now includes (see images below):

    • 1/4 zip sweatshirts (more sizes being ordered).  $25
    • soft shell jackets.   $40
    • t-shirts (plenty of mens and women in stock).  $10
    • NEW can coozies (skinny and traditional).  $2
    • NEW towels. $20
    • NEW burgees. $20
    • NEW tote bags. $20
    • NEW rash guards (dry fit long sleeve shirts).  $20
    • NEW long sleeve t-shirts.  $20

    Sizes & colors are limited to what’s in stock.  First come, first served!

    Hey sailors!
    I can’t believe June is almost over, but there are so many fun upcoming  activities planned for the future. Our Father’s Day Brunch was a big hit, as usual. Thank you to all the volunteers that made it awesome and enjoyable.  We have our Kids Family Fun Day July 2nd to try out our brand new Pirate Ship playground located behind the upper shelter. A big thank you to our Facilities Manager, Bill Harrington! Also on July 16 we have the ECSC Regatta and Beach Party to look forward to.
    I hope everyone is enjoying the season so far!

    This is my continuing report to the membership about recent updates to the club’s Bylaws and General Rules.

    Per the General Rules – “The club’s rules are intended to promote a safe and enjoyable experience for all members.”

    At the June 14th Board of Directors meeting, a new bullying policy was approved by the Board.  Members should know that if you bully a fellow member, affiliated person, or guest, you will be subject to immediate disciplinary action by the Board up to and possibly including immediate suspension or termination of membership.  This policy is intended to discourage and prevent bullying behavior whether verbally or on social media.  The Board’s vote was unanimous on this topic.  The updated General Rules will be posted on the website within a few weeks.

    The next Board of Directors meeting will most likely be on Tuesday, September 13, 7pm, at the club’s upper shelter.

    If you are interested in possibly serving on the Board of Directors and having your name on the 2022 election ballot, please contact any member of the Board of Directors (see club directory) before September 1st to let them know you are interested in being nominated.
