There will be tall ships going up to Baltimore on Flag-Day weekend. I’m hoping we can get a couple boats to go watch the festivities in the inner harbor. Keep an eye on the newsletter for the details of the sailing season. The Newsletter continues to be our primary source of information about the club. But don’t forget to sign up for meetup.com. It’s a very valuable tool and a great way to find out about things happening that are too late for the newsletter. Very soon we will be rolling out our new revised website. Thanks to Eric Welch and Ardean Amato-Chase for working on its development. Greetings from the President As I write this, I’m sitting in Starbucks in Half Day, Il.. It’s a beautiful sunny day. The temperature is about 80 degrees. That’s all good news. But the really good news is that Christa’s little granddaughter Skyler is finally home from the hospital and doing very well. Thanks to all of you who have expressed your good wishes over the past several months. As always, we need volunteers for just about everything. It only takes a little effort and the rewards keep on coming. If you are looking to start a political career you might consider running for election to the board or for a position as an officer. We need a new President Elect. Come to the general meeting and make some friends Winter is done at this point. It was not much in Maryland. But in some parts of the country there was a winter. The club owes a great deal of thanks to all those involved in running ski trips this year. Thanks again to Barb Hagelgans for Telluride. Thanks to Eric Welch and Liz Woodruff for Canaan Valley and double thanks to George Clinton for making the Snowmass and Sunday River trips successful. George really stepped up this year. Thanks George. Thanks everybody, Jim Haude [email protected] Bobbie Carew recently had a meeting to lay out a sailing schedule for the coming sailing season. We will have full moon cruises every month of the summer and a blue moon cruise in August. In addition we will have the usual overnight cruises and if we can get volunteers, maybe a day trip or two. If you would like to go sailing, contact Bobbie Carew. Thanks Bobbie for volunteering. © 2012 Club Crabtowne All Rights Reserved 2 www.clubcrabtowne.org Ski Committee Report See You On The Water, The Ski Committee met, and we will be deciding what trips Club Crabtowne is going to host for 2013. So far we have the Ski Canaan cross country/downhill trip; Blue Ridge Ski Council is going to Big Sky in Montana , and for their Europe trip, Les Trois Vallees. I am also taking names of persons that have expressed an interest in leading or assisting on a trip. I might have a spot for you. Give it a try!

Bruce Hagelgans [email protected] Please contact us. Thanks. Pat Catterton [email protected] Watersports Committee Report The recently held Watersports Meeting was a record breaker. New members and captains, volunteer trip leaders and the 2012 calendar just about FILLED with leaders and assistants. Thanks to all who participated. Also from the meeting a group of kayak committee members, which resulted in several informational emails on kayaking sites in our area. We still have a need for leaders and assistants for several boat day trips. And I am still looking for a waterfront location for a get together. Please email me at [email protected]. Looking ahead, a second Skipper/Crew social at Ed Moses' home on Saturday, April 7th. Last week in April and first week in May - volunteer some of your time to help skippers get their boats ready to go. Spring cleaning means washing, waxing, etc. I'll be taking names at the March & April meetings. Working on a boat will give you points with the skippers. First cruise will be to Galesville for anchoring out and going ashore for dinner. Landlubbers may drive down and meet us for dinner. Next day we'll head over to Tilghman Island and return home on Monday. Watch for kayak trips in Edgewater in April and Quiet Waters in May. © 2012 Club Crabtowne All Rights Reserved Karen Cunningham [email protected] 3 www.clubcrabtowne.org 4/7 Skipper/Crew Party ACTIVITIES nd 3/28 Shoot Pool with Don - 2 & 4 When: April 7, 2012 Time: 7 – 11 p.m. Where: 428 Golf Course Drive, Arnold, MD 21012 Cost: Members and guests only: $5pp Skippers, 1 per boat, are comped.
