January General Meeting
Happy New Year! At the time of writing, the temperature is in the low teens, but it's not too early to start planning for the 2022 sailing season.

Regrettably, we won't be able to meet in person this month due to the current Covid surge. The dinner commemorating our recent students will be postponed until, hopefully, February.

Please do join us virtually for the January general meeting via Zoom, as the new board takes the helm, by clicking on the following link, or join by phone for voice only.

Education
The Education Committee will be be meeting in the next few weeks to plan the Basic Sailing class dates. If you're an instructor, please plan to attend. The meeting will be held virtually.

The website is currently setup with the ability to register for the June and July sessions, but the dates will be added once they're determined. To register early, click here.
Keelboat Committee
The Zephyr is safely on the hard, thanks to all those who came out in the late November cold to help winterize the boat. The Keelboat Committee will start meeting again in the spring to plan the boat's launch.
O'Day Committee
The O'Day is warm and cozy in Donna and Ed's heated garage, while the water level at Greenwood Lake recovers from planned lowering. There are plenty of projects to be done on the boat before it goes back to its summer home, so sign up to help depending on your expertise.
SEAS National News
Planning is under way for the 2022 SEAS National meeting, to be hosted by Bergen chapter. The confirmed date is now Sunday, March 13 at the Nyack Boat Club, so mark your calendars now. If you know any excellent speakers who can present on a sailing or nautical themed topic, we would be interested in getting in touch.
