From the Captain of the
Fleet:
“Our March meeting was dedicated to Bill Felgenhauer’s
70th surprise birthday party. Bill is the owner and founder of
Garhauer which supplies a huge percentage of the hardware on all new Catalinas. Bill has been an avid supporter of our Fleet.
Thanks to Norm and Charlene Perron for planning and organizing the event. Bill
is getting a new Catalina 350, hull #1, and Norm organized the acquisition of a
Honda generator as a present. Bill was genuinely pleased and surprised.
“I attended the February Rendezvous organizing meeting and will be
going to the next one on Thursday the 21st. I volunteered the Fleet to handle
registration as we did last year. There is a major improvement being worked on
(I hope it will happen) that would include shore boat tickets for Saturday as
part of our packets. The members that attended last year will remember that the
dinghy dock was a disaster. It could be as bad or worse this year because the
weekend of the Rendezvous is also the weekend many will return home from the MdR to
“See you
at Norm's "Show and Tell" cruise on the 14th of April. If you can’t bring your boat, drive or dinghy on over.”
Your Fleet Captain, Gene Levinthal

Guest Docks
It's time for Norm's Very Short Cruise and "Show-n-Tell"
this Sunday, April 14th, at the Guest Docks at
We should have 6 to 10 boats to look at, so even if you can't
bring your boat, come anyway... drive over and park in the Burton Chace visitors lot (bring quarters for the parking meters).
Every
year people are surprised by the amount of good food available and even some
adult beverage consumption that occurs... so bring some snacks to share and
your own refreshments. Norm says there
will be folks at the dock from
