Last chance for NMO signups!
ATTENTION NEW MEMBERS:
We gotta start planning for meals and activities for the Bainbridge Outstation New Member Orientation, and we need your RSVP ASAP for May 19-21!
Saturday only attendance is totally cool and arrival by ferry is OK. Arrival by boat earns you more boater cred!
If you've joined in the last 36 months, you've received two e-mail invitations, it's been in the Bilge Pump and Bilge Blast, this Facebook group, and the club website forum, so hopefully this is on your radar and you were waiting until after Opening Day to sign up. Now is the time!
So many members have told me they wished they had an event like this offered to them when they joined. We want to share the history, culture, customs, best practices, and insider "old salt" info about your outstation.
Past attendees have told me they had a blast, made new friends and appreciated the outstation even more, and felt they could enjoy it more and even confidently host events to meet even more people! That's one reason why you joined the club, right?
Please consider joining us in two weeks at the outstation. If you plan to attend Memorial Day, you can even moor your boat and not have to make two trips! What a deal! Moorage fees apply, natch.
