Officer and Director Reports.
Ben Hooks – Mentioned that one of the members was wanting to give away a Gulf Coast 18 sailboat and asked if see if there was any interest in it. Ashley Tackett expressed interest in acquiring it.

Slip Waiting List:
Steve Lowe – Different slip if one becomes available.
David Kinsey.
Two boats at the marina are either currently for sale or will be soon.
LPYC Barge Repairs:
The LPYC barge broke some its lines in the recent storms, John Springer will buy approximately 125 feet of line and make eye splices in them to replace the current lines.
In addition, two of the pipe stanchions have been broken off from the mounting flanges, one due to hitting the dock in a recent storm, other due to unknown events.
Upcoming Events:
a) Overnight Anchoring – With the unseasonable cool weather and lack time before the holidays, the overnight event will be moved to next spring in the April/May time frame. Ben Hooks had considered this weekend, but with the cold temperatures, that would deter any participants.
b) Christmas Party – Scheduled for December 3rd at Emerald Bay at 6:00 PM. Ashley Tackett will post announcements.
c) Annual Meeting - Currently scheduled for third Saturday in January which would be the 21st. Tentative venue will be Emerald Bay. Steve Lowe suggested having some speaker giving a presentation. Several possible persons were mention by directors. They will be contacted by the respected directors to see if they would be interested in doing some kind of presentation.
New Business
New Directors for 2023:
With several directors unable to make current meetings due to other commitments, and one director not seeking another term, the club is need of several new directors. Ben Hooks suggested forming a committee to gauge interest in potential members.
Members of that committee will consist of John Springer, Ashley Tackett, Steve Lowe, and Lynn Easley. The committee will meet at a later date and coordinate efforts.
Date and Time of Next Meeting:
The next meeting will be held before the Christmas Party at Emerald Bay, with the meeting time set at 4:00pm on December 3rd.
