Hopefully, be the time you read this the parking lot will have a fresh coat of sealant and be looking good for our upcoming season. We still have a lot of work to do on the club during “club clean up day” (Saturday, April 17th) so come on down and help us out. Even if you can only stay for a little while your help would be appreciated.

Thanks to Bret Gann of Falcon Sales for the donation of the office chairs and desk for the club. Bret isn’t much into fishing but is a neighbor and knew of our needs for the club and came though for us. Thanks Bret!

Don’t forget to bring your kids to the club for the Club Open House and Day at the Dock activities! Sign them up for the Kid’s Fishing Contest; we have some great prizes and FREE hotdogs. There will also be some competition for the adult fishermen in the crowd!

APRIL EVENTS  -- Mark Your Calendars – Support Your Club

Tuesday, 6^th         Annual Meeting

Silvergate Yacht Club 7:00pm
Guest Speaker:   Michael Farrior

It’s important that you attend. Why?  We have several by-law changes to discuss and approve including 1) allow a 40 lb albacore to move a member into the active status 2) having a separate category for full time professionally skipped boats and 3) giving the Broad of Directors the authority to change the annual meeting date as needed.  Your attendance is necessary.  We would also like to review our discussions with the Port district and the possibility of having to increase our dues.
