May Virtual Meeting Features Launch Safety Presentation
WBA President Scott Myers (l) hosted the May 21, 2020 meeting of the WBA via Zoom video conferencing software. Fifteen members were in attendance, including new member Cindy Chebultz and distant member Mike Gomes, who will be returning to Dallas at the end of the summer. VP Phil Wolff provided the program, presenting the important safety basics of proper towing and launching. Phil's presentation covered everything from safety chains to launch ramp etiquette, and was a good review for all in attendance. Members also agreed with the officers' decision to move the shop fund into the WBA treasury for tax reasons. Project updates were also provided by several members. A photo review of those projects may be found here. Watch for updates on our June meeting. Depending on conditions, the meeting may again be virtual. |

Project Updates from WBA May Meeting
Next WBA Monthly Meeting June 18, 2020. Virtual or In-Person?
Our meetings are a great opportunity to socialize with fellow WBA members and to talk shop on questions on everything from paint and varnish to carburetor kits. We'll be swapping stories of our various boating and project adventures. Plus, we'll have a presentation of general interest to the classic boating community. As we await the end of the Coronavirus pandemic, our virtual meetings are a great way to stay in touch with the goings-on of the Club. Donated Engine Will Boost Treasury
Robin and the shop crew have already corrected some of the plumbing issues that may have been affecting the engine's cooling, and will be bench testing soon. If you know of someone who may be interested in this engine, please let us know, so we can get it sold quickly. If we don't have any interest within the club, we'll put it up for sale on eBay. While we always manage to sell there, the fees rob the club of some benefit, so let's try to find a buyer now. We'll be posting video of the bench test on the WBA Facebook page in the near future. Shop Talk and Musings: The Passing of Glenn Nerwin
And finally, please take a look in the shed or garage for leftover parts or other salable items you can spray with Lysol, then donate to the Club. Contact David Kanally at david@historywithheart.com for more info. |
