I hope 2023 to date is finding you all well and happy.

And flush with cash!! It is early in the year, and that, of course, means it is time for dues announcement. The BOD decided dues would be again a mere $25 for the year. Here is the link to pay dues through PayPal :https://www.seaspriteassociation.com/membership/to-join-renew-membership/

You can use your own PayPal account, Venmo, or credit card. Please, no checks. It really becomes painful when I misplace a check.

The SSA is in great shape. The annual report to the annual meeting will read like last year’s. And the really good news is that our leadership/admin reorganization effort is bearing great fruit. Eric Doelling in California will continue as Classifieds Editor. Greag Raleigh in Wisconsin will continue running the Fleet Log. Dejan Radeka will coordinate the Forum. We have a new Commodore Dom Messerli who will also serve as Fleet Commander for the racing fleet in Bristol with the able assistance of Bob Rude. We have a new Treasurer in Chuck Roscoe. Carter Hall will continue on as Webmaster and will coordinate the transition to a more inclusive and clearly defined organization. The BOD is stable. All is looking very good. One more spot remains to fill, the Secretary, and our admin team will be complete.

Thank you all for your participation. You are a wonderful group of sailors. I wish everyone Fair Winds and Godspeed and a wonderful sailing year.

Best wishes,      Carter
