REAR COMMODORE SSCC will be holding it’s meetings via
Sheila Busser ZOOM once again this year. I think we can

sheila.busser@gmail.com all agree - Covid restrictions or not- it
makes it a lot easier for more members to jump online to meet rather
FLEET CAPTAIN
Rob Willison than run around town after work. We encourage all of you to partici-

With the vaccinations still being distributed and the upcoming social
MASTER-AT-ARMS distances guidelines unknown, we are going to do our best planning safe,
Vacant exciting events that will not only keep our club promoting safety on the
PAST COMMODORE water, but also on land. We are still planning to have a Shakedown in
Pat Valliere May. Of course, the details will be announced closer to that date. We’ll

the boating community (IE the Progressive Virtual Boat Show), I am

confident that we can get creative enough to have plenty to look forward
to. We all are longing for anything the resembles “getting back to nor-
Kathy Valliere mal” and I have several ideas we hope to do to make it seem like we’re

MEMBERSHIP DRIVE 2021

One of SSCC main goals for this year is to retain our current members and recruit new members to join our
club. We will be scheduling several events this year in order to achieve this goal. We will try to schedule a
few membership drives or dock parties and invite as many boaters as possible to attend. Our Fleet Captain
Rob Willison is also putting together a great cruise schedule for 2021.

Each member of SSCC needs to be a part of the Membership Committee. If you know of anyone at your
marina or a dock mate that you might want to invite, please let Membership Chairman Rich know. You can
send an email to bethelou2@aol.com.

Hopefully we will be able to enjoy a boating season this year since the vaccines have arrived. We will be
sending out further information close to the events and will be asking for everyone to volunteer.

Thank You, Rich McKee - Membership Chairman
