Mountain View Yacht Club Rumor Control

[Commodore]

Hey I think I got a mailing about an April open house at MVYC. I didn't pay attention because I don't plan to be in NH this month. I thought it mentioned finalizing launch instructions and coffee and dough nuts. I think it was a single page folded in thirds with postage and sticky label. Not a fancy letterhead and envelope like the January letter I finally got from MVYC in January about rumors on the forum. I don't see any mention of the Open House on the MVYC home pages today. Since you can't call them early in the morning why not e-mail them with your question?

I remember the January thread you started to remind us about a MVYC board meeting. Irwin's contract was on the agenda then. MVYC seems very touchy about that and any discussion of their activities on this or other forums. They jumped to tell us, in the above referenced mailing and on their web site, that this was a regular board meeting and not a special board meeting in January. The Irwin's contract was on the agenda but nothing of substance. Just a time line and other type issues. There would be no vote on renewing Irwin's contract until at least the annual May meeting.

Wonder why they did not mention their regular March board meeting where, I hear, they discussed the proposed changes to the Irwin's contract. Yes there will be discussion about the contract at the annual meeting May 28 but what went on at the March 5 board meeting? What changes did MVYC or IRWINs propose? They did not jump to tell us and it is not on the web site. Maybe it will be in the promised April newsletter.

Back on the main topic, I think that there is a MVYC open house this month even though it is not mentioned on their web site.

Not one of the board of directors replied to my e-mail from a few months ago therefore I won't bother to try that again. They have a valid e-mail address for me but they still do not know my true identity and I want to keep it that way while I stay at MVYC.

I just checked the MVYC web and it has been updated within the last day or 2. They added the spring 2005 newsletter but still no mention of an April Open House on their site.

Thanks Commodore and Jarhead for your input. Why is it that I believe you more than I do the MVYC directors and web site? The directors have vehemently emphasized that we should not trust MVYC information from anonymous sources on forums. MVYC directors insist that their MVYC.biz web site it the only place to get accurate information about MVYC. No mention of tomorrows rumored April Open house on their web page yet .

Come on Mountain View Yacht Club. You can't have it both ways. This should prove to you that MVYC information on forums has a place. You can not always rely on the MVYC web site for all the information you need or should have. Open discussion is not a bad thing.
