Hello San Francisco Offshore Members and New Members,

We are looking forward to another great year.     I am happy to take the helm of the club again this year along with Bob Patterson as Vice President; Directors Jim Blackburn, Joe Catino and John McNichols; Membership Joe Young; and Treasurer Tina Lugar.  I thank you all for your support.  But I am looking for Volunteers this year to get members involved.  This club belongs to all of us.

The goal is to gather once a month for an Informal Lunch or Planned Event.  We want to make 2009 an awesome boating season.  Anyone interested in volunteering please call me at 925 516 1265.   I need Volunteers!  Some events that we need help with are for the Mystery Run, End of Summer Picnic, Lunch Run to Napa??, Paparazzi Run?   We are open to any suggestions for runs this year.  As this will be a difficult year for many we are going to keep everything low key.  We are also planning a Car Run in March, any suggestions call Cindy at 925 516 1265 or email cpatterson@ultratech.com.

The website will be up soon with all the events and event information.  These dates are tenative and can be changed if a volunteer would like to do the event on a different weekend.   Also watch for pictures as the events take place.  Please check it often for event details and Impromptu Lunch or Breakfast Runs.

 Most communication will be by email this year so please make sure we have your correct email address.  If you prefer communication to be by phone or U.S.  mail please let me know.

The general membership is $150 and an application is attached along with The Events list.   I would also like everyones opinion as to whether they would like to continue to have the Old Sacramento Run this year.  Please always check the Website for any changes.

Your 2009 application has been mailed showing your current information.  Please return it no later than March 15^th to assure you are in the Directory.

Thanks and see you soon,

Cindy Patterson
