Board Report: Barry Stolzman, Board Chairman reported he has had an earful about the increases in dues and moorage.  Some comments are there is no cola in membership or moorage, 10/15% increase high and would not be necessary if we controlled costs, etc.  There was a discussion about members who are against moorage/dues increases and how to educate them about the need .  Barry talked about the COLA option but wondered if we need more as that is only 5%.  Mark will report on moorage market at next Board meeting.
