Welcome New Members

At the general meeting we welcomed 10 new members into the club. Steve Schoning, Tommy Agosta, Rusty Simmons, Charles Yelton, Eric Kapusinski, Daryl Disco, Jose Chavez, Greg Turben, Julius Jones, and Danaca Flores. Welcome to the club and hope to see you all at our
functions.

For those that did not make it this year, the current wait list is 10 people.

New members, reminder that you need to attend two general meetings (the first Thurs. of each month) and do 8 workday hours, part of which are helping with one of the dinners. Check with the dinner host or Larry Nixon to sign up to help with the dinners.

Reminder to all members, you can start to get your 8 workday hours in now. Don’t wait until the last minute! Check with Bob or Mike Clearwater on what may need to be done. The dinner sponsors can always use help with the dinners and especially with clean-up. When you work do not forget to sign the workday sheet with the hours you worked located on the bar.

Board and General Meeting Minutes

At the board meeting of Feb. 13, Mike Rowe introduced Andrew Poarch and Nathaniel Berumen introduced Kyle Hopkins as perspective new members. The purser reported that we took in over $17,300 in dues, $500. For spouses, and over $12,400 in workday fines. Some of the money in the checking account was moved to the money market account.

Bob asked to purchase several stick vacuums to help with the cleaning of the club house.

In new business, Jake Martinez of the Dept. of Water Resources asked permission to use the ramp to set traps to see if the golden muscles are in the area. He is also setting traps to look for the Delta smelt. He will call ahead to let Bob know he is coming by.

Bob met with a civil engineer to look at the slippage of the deck and the club house. He felt it was slipping so slowly that there was no need to do anything yet. Bob will keep monitoring the situation to see if it changes.

Phil Carrier lost $90. On the poker chip drawing. You can’t win if you don’t attend!

Kitchen Report

For those that did not attend Dana Hooper’s prime rib dinner you missed a fantastic meal. Everything was terrific!

The next dinner is March. 15. Rosie and Sherman will be serving a “Mexican Extravaganza!” They are planning on have enchiladas, tostadas, rice and beans. Rosie will be making homemade desserts and Sherman will be making his famous key lime pie. You don’t want to miss this dinner or the desserts!

We are still using reservations but you can sign up yourself plus guests at the same time. If you could make reservations by Wednesday I can give Rosie an estimate of the number of
attendees it help in her planning. (707-592-4395 or dixonboatclub@gmail.com) Cost is still $20.00.

Brad and Manny will be doing their smoked ribs at the April 19 dinner.

There were no fish derby participants last month and the next derby will not be until April.
