Special Matters:
1. Urgent!! Larry handed out draft copies of each skipper’s crew Talley’s for the year for comment and correction. It is urgent that each skipper review this draft and immediately notify Larry of any corrections. This draft is absent some records turned into Steve Dauzy and entered into his record. Rest assured these two records will be merged this next week. It is urgent that we have a corrected final record for next week, so please skippers get those corrections to Larry ASAP. They are urgent to show skippers in good standing to vote and to announce.
