Episode Notes

Commodore Neal LeBlanc, Vice Commodore Chris Purcell, and Past Commodore Jim Crooks from Elba-Mar Boat Club talk about the club and what membership includes. They take away some of the mystery.

A note about the Membership Nights. Neal emailed me to say that Membership Nights have been changed. "It is the last Thursday.  However, in the event the last Thursday is a holiday; the Membership Committee will meet on the Thursday prior to the holiday." Call the club or check online before going, I would suggest.
