The Bayou Chapter is still developing but we have come along way in the past 3 years. Just check out our "Scrapbook" page and you can see the number of functions we have sponsored or been involved in. It is our hope to increase the numnber of these functions but to do so, we need help from our members. We always weclome any ideas and suggestons from all of you but to have these ideas come to fruition, we will need members to help with making arrangements at hotels, restaurants, marinas, etc. With the weather (that we normally have !!) and the number of boats and people to draw from across the Gulf, we are fortunate to be able to have functions year around. We also need to realize that these functions don't all need to be 'major events". .A raft-up on a Sunday afternoon, a weekend at the Madisonville rivewrwall are great ways to spend some time with our fellow members. We will do our very best to keep up the "Calendar" page of our website. I can't encourage you enough to take advantage of using the "trading Dock" page on our website as well. We have had over 40 thousand hits since the Website went live and we have had very few items to post on the "trading Dock". If you have nautical items for sale or trade, let us know and we will get them posted for you. Our most recent function The Spring "grill you own" at the Mandeville Pier was a great event and we had our largest attendance for a Byou Chapter functions. We had more members form Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Biloxi as well as the North Shore. Thanks to all of you who attended and we look forward to seeing all of you at the Biloxi Wooden Boat show followed up by our event on the back Bay. Check out the "Calendar" page on our website. Finally, we want everyone to feel that their input is always welcome. As you know our chapter board meetings are always open to all members but etween these meetings don't hesitate to contact us with ideas and/or concerns.
Enjoy the beautiful weather and safe boating, |
