Fred is a nationally certified and licensed marine surveyor with many years experience in dealing with the size boats
we typically use or own. He will speak on the issue involved in conducting a marine survey, what a survey can tell
you, its limitations [what it won’t tell you], and what we should know about the survey process when buying or selling
a boat. We depend a great deal [as do the underwriters doing the financing] on a surveyor doing a good job on our behalf.
It’s important to understand just what a survey will and will not determine, as well as how to tell if your surveyor
is doing a good job for you.
This will be a great presentation for all of us, but especially for those who are planning to buy or sell a boat in
the near future. Please try to attend, as Fred has graciously agreed to drive all the way up from Charlotte to speak
with us and I’m sure his presentation will be most interesting and of great value to our members and their crews.
Our meal will again be catered by Unforgettable Food Affairs who always provided us with excellent food and service.
This month’s meal will feature beef tips with onions and peppers – see the menu below.
Your comments and suggestions are always appreciated. Receiving feedback from our members is the only way we have of
determining if we are on course with our programs and selection of meals. Please feel free to suggest a topic,
a speaker, a caterer, or a menu selection. Member’s input is greatly appreciated----simply e-mail me or Amy with
your thoughts. Thanks again for your assistance.
Also, please remember to make a reservation no later than Sunday the 1st, as the final meal count goes in on Monday
morning. Your cooperation is needed to help make us meet our food budget. Over the past few months we have gone
over budget because we ordered extra meals in an attempt to provide for those who don’t make a reservation.
This has lead to ordering extra meals that are not paid for and must be covered out of the $15.00 charged to each
of those attending. These unpaid meals have been causing us to lose money each month.
To help control costs, we will now order only the number of meals for which we have received reservations, and not
add on for any extras. Your cooperation in making a reservation is greatly appreciated and we thank you in advance.
Also, please remember to cancel your reservation if you find that you can not attend.
With your help we can achieve our goal of providing high quality meals, while holding our member’s dinner cost to $15
per person. The $15 must cover the meal, the delivery and set-up, the server and the hall rental. I’m sure you can
appreciate that this has become increasingly more difficult in these times of rapidly rising food costs. Thank you
for your help, understanding and suggestions.
