rebirth of the rebirth of the rebirth

The crew met as a group on Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November 14 and came to the following conclusions:

1 - We are gong to be a Sea Scout Ship as opposed to a Venture Crew

2 - We will concentrate on getting 'Venture', the sail training foundation'
Cal-34 Sailboat clean and seaworthy for the 2010
sailing season (May - October)

3 - We will focus on extensive fundraising activities to:
----a) retire the debt for dockage fees and Nest Egg Marina (around $1000.00 at present)
----b) secure a mooring at the Menominee Marina for the upcoming season (around $1500.00 for dockage, $800 for -----------mooring)
----c) obtain uniforms for all crew members. The uniforms will be property of the ship and not individual crew members.
----d) purchase materials and services to make Venture seaworthy

4 - We will focus on recruiting to have a ships complement of 10 to 12 members by December 2010.

5 - We will obtain the help of adult advisers to assist us in our training.

6 - We will choose, plan and execute a community service project during 2010.

7 - We will use bicycling as an additional area of interest.


SO thats a lot. We need a direction and this is the one we have picked. More later.

fair winds, following seas
