OFFICER REPORTS
Vice Commodore (Christina) – Thank you to Ryan Alder for getting CSC listed with Google’s employee volunteer program, which (like other employer volunteer programs) will either match an employee’s contribution to CSC or contribute $10 to CSC for every hour of CSC volunteer work by an employee. Robert Ofsevit suggested that we set out a sandwich sign for the week preceding every Open House to publicize the event, big thanks to him for volunteering to make the sign and set it out and put it away every day for a week preceding the next Open House. Just kidding. But we are going to make more flyers to hand out at the clubhouse. Next year we’ll change our publicity materials to say that Open House signups are 1 to 3 pm. So far this year 1421 people went out on Introductory Sails during our Open Houses, including 216 today, which is great considering that one of our Open Houses had to be cancelled, and another was closed early due to inclement weather. Keelboat lessons on Wed. night are going well, a googledocs signup is in place and we usually have about 7 students showing up, plus we have more teachers now than we had at the start of the season. We’ll be updating the Open House signup to include a photo release for publicity.
Rear Commodore (John) – We’re getting more instructors for Monday and Thursday lessons (thanks to Mark E and Gene G among other stalwarts). So far about 20 people have expressed interest in the 1st Aid class which will cost about $60/person, I’m contacting the instructor, and Ryan Alder is contacting Berkeley Yacht Club for possible free use of a meeting room.
Port Captain (Brenden) - Dayleader assignments are finalized, all have work-study funding. Wednesday will be ½ volunteer dayleader, ½ paid dayleader, and later in the fall Wednesday will be volunteer dayleader only, no paid dayleader. We may incorporate 1st Aid topics into dayleader training in the future, all but one dayleader already have US 1st Aid training (the exception has Israeli 1st Aid training).
Third Vice Commodore (Ryan) – The new J/80 is ready for use, and we are signing off Senior and Cruising Keelboat Skippers to use it—so far Saul Schumsky, James Clarkson, Seamus Vanecko, Dan Zaslavsky, Mark Playsted, and me (Ryan Alder) have been signed off. The trailer that came with the J/80 has been sold. We are finding a good fix for the Commander tillers that became wobbly recently.
Treasurer (Peter, for Stella) - As of 9/15/19 we have $ $10,275 in cash, up $4,429 from last report 8/18/19.
