Activities
Pioneer Day’s Cardboard Boat Races and Parade were a great success. Our paddlers won all of their races and came in first overall. Our new boat handled better than any other boats on the water. Thank you Dick Kern our master ship builder. The Pioneer Day’s Judges gave special recognition to the Englewood Fishing Club Parade Float and Crew.
Dan McClain is now our Charter Captain Coordinator. Dan may also help coordinate rides with other club members on their boat. Contact Dan for details at danielrmcclain@google.com or see him at the meeting.
The Programs Committee is asking for your input. If you would like to be involved with the programs committee or would like to recruit a special speaker, see Rick Rogoski at the October Meeting.

In my opinion, each club member should volunteer to help in at least one activity each year.
