FOLLOW UP TO MEETING: A big mahalo to Alice for hosting us again! Some important announcements: 2008 dues have gone up slightly (first raise in 10 years!) to $325 per member; due to our new boat house and new canoes. The following novices from 2007 have taken advantage of the end of year offer to pay ‘07 dues for ‘08: Katherine Klabau, Lorraine Ronopka-Lyon, Michelle Archer, Page Whatson, Ella Solomon and our first paid 2008 member Doug Caldwell who is new to NYO, but paddled with the ad-hoc Hamptons crew last year… E Komo Mai! (Welcome)

We look forward to the new year. We do have a couple of board positions up for nominations: Vice President (currently Di) and Secretary (currently Laurie). If you’d like to run for either of these positions, please login to our Yahoo Groups and get 5 nominations; as a reminder, you must be a PAID member to vote and run. Elections will take place in our next meeting which will be in April, 2008. Last, but definitely not the least, please get involved! We need you to make Liberty a success! Pick a committee 1.
