IT’S YOUR MONEY... VOTE TODAY

DUCT TAPE REGATTA THIS WEEKEND
Pirate John
The Duct Tape Regatta takes to the water this Saturday. In a message to the Club, President Michael Cognata recalls that "our Club has always made outstanding contributions to this event to benefit international clean water projects. As a reminder to those who have pledged a contribution, kindly fulfill your pledges by giving a check or cash to Bob Erbetta or any RCoMH officer so that we can continue our tradition of raising the most money for this very worthy cause. Also, Captain Erbetta is still looking for strong and light paddlers for Saturday. Anyone interested or if you know someone who would be suited for this, please let either Mike or Bob know.
SPEAKERS
Bill Bartin and Mike Cognata have volunteered to coordinate speakers for next year's meetings, taking over from Zhenique Israelian who did a fantastic job this past year. Bill and Michael wish to thank Margaret Greene, Jessica Barnett, Linda Doliber, and Mike Elkin who have already made suggestions!
