Presidents Message – Robert Black

The Southwest Chapter Winter Board Meeting was held last weekend.  The 2008 Boat Show schedule has been finalized.  The first show is the Keels & Wheels, to be held May 3-4 at the Lakewood Yacht Club.  Exhibitors are encouraged to register their boats as early as possible. This makes it easier for us to produce an efficient harbor layout.  We would like to accommodate everyone who wants to show a boat.  If you have not received a registration form, you can find one on the Keels and Wheels website: www.keels-wheels.com.
