Thank you, Fred and thank you all who were present at our first virtual Annual Meeting last night. I don't know how many people know this, but Fred with help from others, basically resurrected CDSOA from the brink of extinction. I inherit the office of Commodore with CDSOA in good financial and legal shape, with new articles of incorporation and a new set of bylaws because Fred did the heavy lifting to get us there. We all owe Fred a debt of gratitude.

One of my goals is to visit all the Fleets at some point. It won't all be in year one. The other is to communicate member value in terms membership dollars being spent to the benefit of our members. This Board and the Club Express site are the more visible ones, but that doesn't tell the whole story.

Yes, many thanks to Fred. Also my congratulations to Carl, John and John. People like me are the beneficiaries of all your hard work. I know you all put in many hours for the group. Your dedication and sacrifices are appreciated. Thank you all for doing a wonderful job.

Is there any validity to the rumor that the behind the scenes electioneering included a promise of “a lobster in every pot” prior to the vote for Commodore being cast? Inquiring minds want to know…
I wish all the new officers well and appreciate them taking on the various challenges in support of this deserving organization.
