Hello, Everyone:

Just a quick and only reminder (I promise) about dues. They are yearly, are only $25, and support the Sea Sprite Organization in providing you a growing number of services and a close sense of community. Thanks to all who joined last year and made possible our stronger organization. We had 60 sailors from 14 states plus British Columbia join up. Pretty amazing.

We are committed to developing a strong positive balance sheet for the Sea Sprite Association to ensure website services for the future. For the next few years, as we build our balance through our yearly dues, we will keep costs as low as possible. For an update on our progress and a summary of our balance sheet, see the posting below summarizing the minutes of the Executive Committee meeting from last Fall. For directions on how to (re)join, see the item Membership on the menu above and click on the sub-menu To Join/Renew.

And 2 new benefits this year!  Active members will be eligible for commercial pricing from Jamestown Distributors, resulting in 10% off list price on most items, some even more, as well as a 10% discount on new sails ordered from Quantum/Thurston Sails. Directions on obtaining the privileges will be emailed to active members.

Best wishes for the coming year, and many happy travels. Let me know about ideas you might have on how the Organization can support you and your Sea Sprite better.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Carter
