All,
I will do anything to help organize anything we need done locally. I
don't have a lot of contacts in marinas in the area but it looks like we
have a couple people who do so. . . Any other kinds of things that need
organizing, websitewise or groundwork, count me in.
I obviously will be attending and my father Charles will as well;
boatless but attending.
