If I can brag about all of us for a minute, we, all of us at CGOA-MN, put on an awesome event this year. You guys welcomed new attendees with open arms and all contributed to the great family feeling that makes our club special. Whether it was with a handshake, passing a tasty beverage down the line, providing a tow, loaning out bumpers to a dude who forgot his, then stole them...(me) or just escorting a new member up & down the river. You guys were awesome!
Thank you all very much!
One of my personal goals when I stepped into an administrator role was to shore up our technology, secure it, and help lead the club to its 10th Anniversary Meet. To be sure, there have been many of you that helped get us there. Several key members willing to donate time, equipment, food, can coozies, banners and money to help keep the club (and members boats) running are what sets us apart from many other groups. That was proven out by our record attendance of 64 (and counting) boats this year. Thank you, stand up and take a bow...you all deserve it.
With that said, I'll be stepping aside as one of the meet planners as well as reducing my administrator role in the forums. I've enjoyed helping out and its been a great escape from my day job, but its time to 'just go boating'.
I'm sure Gregg would appreciate some additional help maintaining the forum software and the club will need someone to help lead the 11th Annual Meet and beyond. So, if you have a passion for the club, are a great communicator with the desire to help the club grow, we'd love to hear from you!
Thanks so much everyone, and congratulations again on an awesome event. It was truly one to remember!
