Vice Commodore’s Report

The Hurricane Plan is now on the LSBC website. It is every member’s responsibility to become familiar with the plan and act accordingly in the event of a storm. There were thirteen anglers at the Kid’s Cane Pole Fishing Tournament. Thanks to all that helped out. Pictures of the Tournament are on the website.

Commodore’s Report

No report.

Docks and Grounds’ Report

There has been a great deal of general maintenance around the Club grounds. The boat lift project is progressing well. The Pilothouse will be closed on Memorial Day. If you need fuel, get it before the holiday.

Old Business

The Board was presented with a petition to bestow the status of Distinguished Member two Ken Casteel

and Bill Turner. The members voted to bestow that status to Ken Casteel and Bill Turner.

The Treasurer researched the possibility of putting an ATM at the Pilothouse. He determined that it was not a financially sound idea.

New Business

The Club’s member business directory is being updated. There is no charge so get your information to the Dockmaster.

A motion was made and seconded to adjourn. The motion carried.
