I hope we can get a strong Eastern Area presence on this call!

If you did not get this it's because you're not a member of the USF18 Google Groups because you're not a USF18 member.
Please join USF18 and you will be added.

Hello F18 Sailors:

Since we did not hold a Nationals Championship this year where we typically hold our Annual General Meeting (AGM) we need to conduct the AGM via the internet this year.  We are all now familiar with Zoom and Team meetings so will also be doing that for USF18.

So save the date of Wednesday, November 11, 2020.  Start time is 8:00 Eastern.  See the Agenda below for the start time in your time zone.

We are also seeking nominations for class officers so anyone who desires to step up to assist the class please contact me.  In particular anyone who wants to help out as Chief Measurer of the US Class please let me know.

Anyone with additional agenda items or desires for the AGM please contact me.

I look forward to meeting with you all on Nov 11.
