PROJECTS



New Projects
Any members who have some spare time, or who want to help with some of the projects that need to be done, can choose from the following list.  To insure that you will have the materials that you need, check in the storage shed first, or bring them with you when you come.
Materials that have been pre-approved for purchase either by the Commodore or the Grounds Chairman, will be reimbursed by the treasurer upon proof of an original receipt.    As jobs are completed, please sign your name and date next to these items. We want to keep this current, as we will access this list on our website.
Please e-mail suggestions or other ideas for improvements to the Webmaster.

IMPROVEMENTS 2004
WSA would like to thank the 16 members who helped put on the new roof. It was tough going that first day in 90 degree heat, while on the following Saturday we could see our breath! We ended up replacing most of the plywood, and a few rafters, and the skylights had to be removed and reinstalled. A special thanks to the following members who gave up two Saturdays, working until 5pm to finish the job: Tom Keevan, Tom Pezzella, Bob Cloman, Bob Gurlitz, Henry Neeser, Roger livingston. Also, we're indebted to Bob Cloman for being the general contractor on the job! Special thanks to Sally Mitchell who worked hard, side by side with us, on the roof! See photos below.

WE HAVE A NEW COMMITTEE BOAT
At the Spring Banquet , The Association voted to begin a fund for a new Committee Boat, as ours was 30 years old.  The first year, we put $2,000. aside, and we also approved of buying a good used boat if the right opportunity presented itself. It shortly did, as our neighbor was selling his. We bought the 20 foot pontoon boat, with a 35 hp motor, for $1,500. The boat needs a little cosmetic work,which some of our members said they could do, and the motor probably could use a carburetor tune up. For now, we have our old motor on this boat. This boat is in good , sound condition, with legitimate seats, plenty of storage, a canvas top and a good working area on the bow for the racing buoys, etc.. We also sold the old pontoon boat, so everything worked out well, and at a great price.  Thanks to Tom Pezzella, Norm Cloutier, and Roger Livingston for taking care of this.
