Commodore’s Log Becky Mock
Ahoy, Saltydoggers! It gives me great pleasure to announce your Board of Directors for 2019:

Treasurer: Brooke Mooreland
Membership: Tance Walker

Webmaster: Dave Westfall

Thanks to all these folks for stepping up to guide the Salty Dogs through next year. They will be taking over in January. Please watch your email for an updated copy of the financial policies. We’ve made a couple of changes. Here are those changes in a nutshell:
· Boatowners will be receiving a per mileage disbursement for out of town trips for gas and wear and tear. This will be equivalent to the IRS standard deduction for mileage. Mileage will be determined by Google Maps with the starting point being where the boat is usually kept.
· Also for out of town, multi-day trips, a deadline for registration and a deadline for cancellation will be published. These dates will be determined by the policies of the venue we are reserving. Cancellations prior to deadline will receive an 80% refund. After the cancellation deadline, no refund will be given. Personal emergency cases (i.e. illness, sudden injury, death in the family, etc.) will be handled on a case by case basis.
· We increased the dues by $5.00 at every tier. We have not had a dues increase in over ten years. This is much needed to cover our increasing costs.
