He is working at bringing in younger juniors, going 5 miles on Saturdays, and trying to make leaders within the crews. Visitors are starting to join ohana paddles, he hopes they will continue. In Jan. & Feb. they will still be working on stroke production, trying to get everyone to have the same technique.

MEMBER’S FORUM
David Wright: I am not receiving email from the club. (Many other members have complained about the same issue.)
KC Clark: Microsoft World 365 does not recognize the HCRA system. You need to create a gmail account. I used to have that problem, but getting a gmail account resolved that issue.
Julie Barreto: Can we use the unlimited more regularly?
Jeb Goss: Yes, just get prior authorization.
Sandy Sater: Any word on the status of 70’s crews?
Randy Anderle: No word yet, we should know soon they are meeting today.
