Greetings From The President Jay Crouthers Club Crabtowne President [email protected] Bike Committee Report The bike season is winding down yet the weather is nice for riding so get some riding in while the getting is good. Indian Head was cancelled last minute as the weather report was for temperatures in the high 90’s which is too hot to be fun. Chincoteague is closed out. There are 20-plus attending Chincoteague this year. Below is a tentative ride schedule, for upcoming rides &related activities: October already and the Board and I are so busy traveling we couldn’t squeeze in a time for us to get together for a Board Meeting! Many of these scheduling conflicts are due to having met people in Club Crabtowne and are now busy playing together. As an example, my wife, Chris, and I met Judy Taylor at a Crabtowne event last year. After finding we have similar likes we’ve become better friends and have attended more events together. Just yesterday, Judy invited us to sail on a boat participating in the Hospice Cup Regatta. Through her we’ve met several other really neat people that share our love of sailing. This is a wonderful thing! But you have to get involved with club activities in order to meet people and expand your horizons. Sitting on the couch at home will not cut it… Speaking of Activities, Barb Hagelgans held an Activities Committee meeting and they have some neat stuff planned for us later. From Zip-lining to trips to the Mistletoe Mingle Party. Keep a sharp lookout in this newsletter and our Meetup site for details. October 7-9 (ride Saturday the 8th) Chincoteague Bike/Beach/Bird Watch/Shop October 15 (Saturday) Blackwater Wildlife bike ride October 16 (Sunday) [‘out of bounds’] Bike AAA rides at Kinder Farm Park November 5 (Saturday) Kent Island South trail bike ride Note the Kinder Farm Park ride listed for October 16 is not run by Club Crabtowne. The Kinder Farm Park ride is an event run by the local Bike Annapolis Anne Arundel County or Bike AA for short. I have more details if you think you would be interested in this local riding event. Remember you must wear a helmet to protect your precious head. Please contact me with your ideas for bike rides and if you want to lead a ride or participate. Being a ride leader is not difficult and with more leaders and assistant ride leaders we can have more enjoyable rides. The focus of the club rides are relatively short rides with a casual pace so we bike and smell the roses. One of the fun things I get to do, a few times a year, is help an old friend deliver sailboats to various locations. For my first time, I got to travel the Erie Canal aboard a 51.5-foot Passport sailboat from Buffalo, NY to Jersey City, NJ. In order to go through the low bridges and locks we had to un-step the mast and ship it by truck. The photo is of me one happy day along the way. I may reserve rooms for Cape May next year. If so I’m looking at reserving rooms in May, 2017 – quite possibly the weekend before Memorial Day weekend in order to lower the cost & avoid the crowds by going when the kids are in school. Ditto for Chincoteague This fall we have hiking, biking and much more for you to get involved in. We still have room for one more © 2016 Club Crabtowne All Rights Reserved 2 www.clubcrabtowne.org with the time frame in either mid-September,2017 or early October.

Watersports Ski Committee Report 2016 Full Moon Cruise Schedule: October 14 - Friday The Blue Ridge Ski Council is going west to Breckenridge, Colorado from February 4th through 11th, 2017. Jay is going to lead the Club Crabtowne bunch again this year. Club Crabtowne has not been there for many years. I am planning on going, and several others I talked to want to go too. Besides several mountains to ski on, there is a town with lots of shops for your ski day off and many other activities like snowmobiling and dog sledding. Jay filled the first batch of condos, and other people have expressed interest in going for the remainder of the rooms. They have not paid their deposit yet, so the rooms are still available for you! It includes air, ground transportation, lodging, lift ticket, a race day with the Blue Ridge Ski Council, and several parties and dinners are included. It’s $1,860 PP.

Light House Shelter Donations Bruce and Barb are going to be collecting for the Lighthouse Shelter of Annapolis, and Bruce will be dropping these off at the Shelter. Please bring your donations to the general meeting. He will also take names of members that donate so they can possibly get a tax break. New or used bikes are needed to help our residents get to and from work. If you are going to bring these, please contact Bruce and let him know. New mothers at the Light House are in need of new or used strollers with removable baby carriers. They can always use bottled water, milk, caffeinated coffee and individual snack-sized bags of chips, pretzels, etc. to distribute to shelter residents and lunch-time clients. I plan to bring back Ski on Wednesdays in 2017 but have not looked at the calendar yet. I enjoy going to the local ski resorts to tune up the mind and the body, so I will be ready right out of the blocks when I get to the big western resort. 2017 Ski Calendar February 4-11, 2017 Breckenridge, CO Western Carnival, Jay Crouthers leading Pantry needs – They are always in need of the following items: Mayonnaise, canned goods, chili, oatmeal, coffee, peanut butter, dried herbs, pancake mix, tea bags, Ramen noodles, soup, fruit juice, spaghetti/pasta, gravy, spaghetti sauce, hamburger helper, spaghetti-Os/ravioli, canned beans (all kinds), syrup, jelly, tuna, macaroni and cheese, cereal, 5 lb. bags of sugar, powdered creamer, canned tomatoes, and salad dressings.
