[C320-list] Planning the 2010 Regatta

[Karl Krueger]

How about having the Regatta in Chicago?
 
Would there be enough interest in the Great Lakes area.  I'm in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and I would be interested in the Chicago area.  I know that there was at least one that was held in Chicago.

C320IA Members:

Your Governing Board would appreciate your suggestions as we plan for a 2010 Annual Meeting & Regatta.

Historically, we have tried to hold one meeting per year, alternating locations (East coast/West coast).
Timing has most recently been early August.
We'd like to consider all ideas that might result in greater value and attendance. For example,
Should we hold our events in conjunction with the Catalina Rendezvous or a regional boat show?
Should we find a different time of year, perhaps extending your boating season?
What value do you place on the class race (regatta), on having vendors, on having a formal dinner, etc.
Would a tour of the Largo, FL factory we enough of a draw to get you to attend?

Please share your thoughts, either with the entire list, to me directly (C320 at suddenlink.net), or by phoning me at (252) 638-1433.

Thanks....
