23rd Annual Boat Auction a big success! - A hearty thanks to everyone who helped to make this year’s auction such a success. We received more than 60 boats and sold all of them, raising much needed funds to continue our educational programs. Boat donations are accepted year ‘round, so call the MHA office at 946-2647 if you have a boat for next years’ Auction.
The Welcome Committee is very excited to announce the 2009 Voyage schedule for the armed sloop Welcome - They are also beginning the process of putting together the crews for these voyages. Anyone interested in being considered for crew should contact Jim Graczyk. Jim also said that they will be working on crew training on Saturdays in May at the dock and hope to be sailing on some of those, with the weekend of May 23rd and 24th being a likely sail training weekend. This is a very exciting time for MHA and all of the many dedicated volunteers who have been working on the Welcome for so long!!
