Put this date on your calendar -- Saturday, January 14th  ACMC Annual Meeting at the Anacortes Library from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. 

Already, we are planning 2012.  Priorities include:

El Toro Sailboat classes in the Spring
Small Boat Messabouts  at SeaFarer Memorial Park from May to September
Restore & sail  Mecca to Port Townsend Wooden Boat Show in September

The year will begin with a field trip to Center For Wooden Boat at Cama Beach on Saturday, March 31st.  Once again, we will return to CWB - Cobweb Saturday to help Andrew Washburn & the CWB crew get ready for the new year.  Good company.  Plus, it's a great place to gather.

In April, the boat tent at Emerald Marine Carpentry is reserved for ACMC members to work on their small boats, tenders, El Toro's, etc.,  in preparation for the beginning of the boating season -- May 1st!     
 
In May, we will also return to the Cap Sante Boat Haven to partner with TSCA - Puget Sound to host a Small Boat & Traditional Messabout during the Anacortes Waterfront Festival.  Last year, we launched some 11 small boats & provided a free lunch to 23 rowers & small boat sailors.  Note, we plan to launch our new ACMC El Toro sailboat at the festival.this small boat messabout -- during the Anacortes Waterfront Festival.

The El Toro classes are scheduled for February, March, and April.

Over the Fourth of July weekend, we are invited to the Center For Wooden Boat  Festival in Seattle.  The festival this year has great potential;  because, work is nearly completed on a new public marine park with a wonderful, model boat pond, the new MOI building is almost finished, and, of course, the CWB facilitie has undergone major changes.
  
So, that's what is happening over the next six months.  Please come to the Annual Meeting planned for Saturday, January 14th.  We will elect officers for 2012, share with you changes to the ACMC  web site, and plan activities & events for the new year.  We want to hear what you would like to do in the new year, too.

See you there!  Agenda is posted on the Home Page.
