Meet the Commodore

Meet the new Hoofer Sailing Commodore, Matt Duesrt, a.k.a. Sphinx. In the photo, Sphinx seems to be saying, "Get the f--- away from me!" Does he think he's a movie star..? Indeed, Sphinx does not like to be bothered with questions or problems, and his response is typically, "Leave me alone!".

Sphinx is waay too cool to be concerned with violations of club rules or similar such nonsense. So if you do have any problems (and there are many in Hoofers), contact the Union Director instead. Or better yet, your lawyer.

Winding Down

September has seen the inauguration of a new commodore, Matt Duerst, and things are looking up already--Matt has finally gotten someone to update the website to show current BOC members, something the former commodore never bothered to do in his 12 excruciating months as commodore.

But wait... what's this, a club "photographer"..? Is that a BOC position?! Does the club really need to pay someone to take photos when we've already got photos coming out the wazoo? Everyone and their mother has a digital camera these days. If you want photos, just send a message to club members to bring their cameras with them and share the photos later. No one wants to help pay for a "club photographer" even if photography is really fun. There is of course the question of quantity vs. quality, but unless the new official photographer has a degree in photography, that's not an issue.

And what's this now...an official BOC position for "Lakefront Beautificator"!? Can I have that job?? I'll be out there scrubbing the concrete 24/7. Promise.

We'll keep an eye on these and other new developments, but for now let's all keep our fingers crossed that '08-09 will be a banner year.
