Dear Cdr,
Thanks for the email. I will be happy to serve and trust I will get much help from all the Commanders and many others who will support this significant event. Here are a few things that have been done to promote the cause.

·         Sail Angle - D8 100 Year Anni Ad Hoc Planning (this is in the approval cycle)

Communication - I propose we all do what is easiest for the individual. There are many ways to deal with this. Most of us have the D8 Directory so we should be able to pull phone numbers and email addresses from there.

Video Conference - Had also thought that we could experiment with SKYPE and conference calling. I know a little about Skype and have an account. In this case those who choose to participate here will also need a Skype acct. It is free but you do need to go thru a process to get it.

Things to Ponder – Most details are posted on the blog. Ideas that have surfaced so far include the following in no particular order:

1. Sea Cruise  - A D8 Weekend Sea Cruise aboard a ship out of Ft Lauderdale or some other location in Florida.
a.       As we heard during the conference District 21 will be going on a sea cruise sometime in Oct. and PC Gary Ferguson, JN may be joining them to see how it goes.
b.      Cdr J. E. Goebel, SN mentioned the fund raising Eastern Caribbean Sea Cruise (January 27) they are doing for St Lucie River Squadron.
c.       Vero Beach has a few cruises (Bermuda departs 12/1/12 and Southern Caribbean departs 4/13/13) that are coming up coordinated by Indian River Travel, Barbara Chadwick.
