Operation 45
Per the report in the last issue of Reflections, the Strategic Planning Committee will make a presentation on the status of the Draft Strategic Plan at the Club’s August 14, 2010 Annual Meeting. The Draft Strategic Plan will then be posted on the Club’s website (Members Section of www.LakeNaomiClub.com) from August 15th through September 30th for Club Member comment. Club Members are urged to take advantage of “Operation 45” to review the Draft Strategic Plan. As an on-going part of the Strategic Plan, the Club is planning to survey the Members in 2011 or 2012. The results of the Member comment period and the survey will be used to further update the Strategic Plan. Once adopted by the Board of Governors and Board of Trustees, the Strategic Plan will be used as a working document and will be updated a minimum of once a year. The Strategic Plan is very different than the Facilities Master Plan which deals only with Club Facilities. The Facilities Master Plan is handled independent of the Strategic Plan by the Long Range Planning Committee.
RC Laser Fleet Hosts North Americans Regatta
The Lake Naomi Club Sailing Association’s newest fleet: RC Laser Fleet #9, began sailing on Lake Naomi last summer, continued throughout the winter in the CC pool and has made it to the big time with the announcement that LNC will be hosting the 2010 North Americans this fall. RC Laser sailing is a world wide sport and growing in numbers daily. Some LNC Members have taken their RC Lasers all over the US for regional and district regattas and are now bringing that knowledge home to host this Nationals level regatta. Friday, September 10th through Sunday, September 12th, RC sailors from all over will be sailing on Lake Naomi off of Club Beach. The RC Lasers are patterned after the original Laser but are ¼ the size and are radio controlled (hence the RC) with a two lever remote control to operate the main sheet and tiller. Some say the best part of sailing them is you don’t ever risk getting wet. They are definitely fun to watch and all should consider themselves invited to come see what should be a fun weekend in September. Anyone interested in participating should contact Fleet Captain Bob MacNeill at 727-385-8100 or John Whipple at 570-350-2977. You can also learn more by stopping by one of the many practice sail dates and race dates listed in the Sailing Schedule on page 17 of the back section of the Summer Calendar. As always your fellow sailors invite you to come join those who already have their boat and try it out yourself.
