2021 Annual General Meeting - Feb 3, 2021

1/20/2021

 
Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) takes place Wednesday February 3, 2021, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., on Zoom. Club members may register to attend the meeting on Meetup. 

A brief AGM, including voting and election of the Board, will be followed by our featured presentation, "Kayaking Antarctica and South Georgia" by JF Marleau of SKILS.

Annual General Meeting Materials & Information

In preparation for the AGM, please review the following materials in advance:
  • AGM Agenda
  • Year-End Financials
  • Year-End Committee Reports
  • 2020 AGM Minutes
  • 2021 Board of Directors - Slate of Nominees (New as of February 1, 2021)

All voting will be done electronically via Zoom. Results will be tabulated automatically by the Zoom software and shared with attendees. Because Zoom only allows one vote per device, we recommend that members who attend from the same household sign in on separate devices in order to vote independently. 

Featured presentation: "Kayaking Antarctica and South Georgia" with JF Marleau

We are pleased to welcome JF Marleau of SKILS to share with us his adventures kayaking in Antarctica and Sough Georgia. These destinations are undoubtedly on many a kayaker's bucket list. Join us for this virtual expedition! 

To register for the meeting and obtain connection information, visit the club's Meetup site and follow the information in the meeting event posting. The meeting will be posted on Meetup at least two weeks in advance. See you there! ​

Paddler Etiquette - On Water and on Meetup

1/1/2020

 
Hints to Make Paddling Life Easier and Safer (in normal times).  Right now distance between people is important.
We all help each other out loading and carrying our boats to and from cars.  Some boats are heavier than others, and some people are stronger than others.  To make sure everyone goes home injury free, please make sure that your hatches are empty and everything is taken off your boat before you let someone else help you carry it.  It also helps to check your hatches to make sure there is no water inside. That also adds weight.

When carrying a loaded boat always use more four people and use straps if available. Loaded kayaks are not meant to be carried solely by the handles at each end.

Meetup Etiquette
Many of our events are popular, and space is limited, so it is important that everyone who signs up, attends as promised.  
  • Signing up for an event is a commitment to attend.
  • Before you sign up for an event, check your schedule carefully to make sure you are able to attend.
  • If something comes up and you cannot attend, go into the event on Meetup and take your name off the list immediately.
    • If you are wait-listed, monitor the event and see where you are on the wait-list.  If you make other plans take your name off the wait-list.
    • Last minute cancellations are unfair to other members who wanted to attend.
    • No shows are listed on your profile and are viewed negatively.
