Chocolate Covered Goodness!!! The club's November General Membership Meeting was held Sunday afternoon, November 27th (it rained the afternoon of Nov. 20, so the meeting happened November 27), in the yard by the clubhouse. Members brought a potluck feast of soup, entrees, and desserts, the club provided bread and salad, juice and soft drinks (served by the club waitstaff), and CHOCOLATE, courtesy of the club chocolatier, Steve Burchik. Owing to the club's unprecedentedly high membership (550 current members as of 11/27/11!!) there wasn't a quorum for an official election, but an unofficial advisory vote was taken, and the results were:
1) unanimous approval of:
Heidi Kearsley for Vice Commodore
Adam Bertsch and Michael Scalet together for 1st Vice Commodore
Rob Miller for 2nd Vice Commodore
Kevin Rendueles for 3rd Vice Commodore
Yves Parent and Barbara Kochan together for Rear Commodore
Sophia Horuchi for Port Captain
Peter Kuhn for Treasurer
Stephanie Evans for Secretary
2. In secret ballot, 30 votes for Jennifer Kroon, 7 votes for Todd Price, and 1 vote for Heidi Kearsley for Commodore
Big thanks to the many members and their guests who showed up and made such a nice party!
