6 Page 6 WELCOME TO NEW MEMBERS Chris and Allison Siconolfi and their children Jake and Kiley Chris and Allison met in 2000 in San Francisco both working in the wine and spirits industry, and married 4 years later. They both grew up close to water - Allison in Huntington, Long Island and Chris in Long Beach in Southern California. They decided it was time to start their family and bought their first home in Pacifica in 2005, feeling the coast was the perfect place to raise their family. Their son Jake is 6 and Kiley turns 1 on April 11th. They also have a lovely peekapoo dog "Brookie" who just turned 9, and being a 75% toy poodle, the beach is her favorite place in the world! Please join me in welcoming the Siconolfi family to HMBYC. Chris is very interested in Guest Cheffing - so I am sure we will be enjoying his good food one Friday night soon! CALLING ALL ARTISTS - we need to choose colors, names and designs for the Optimists! The first 3 optimist dinghies are nearing completion! The last task will be painting and attaching the hull fittings (like buoyancy bags, hiking straps, mainsheet block, mast step & gudgeons!). In order to purchase the paint and vinyls we will need to agree on a color, name and any designs that might be required. The boat being funded by Women Sailing seems to have narrowed down the name to a list of 3 or 4 - but we still need to decide on color and any design features Please use the outline above to design your entry for consideration Please submit all entries - either by to lucy.gillies@usa.com or by post to PO Box 52, El Granada CA, or put in the Membership Inbox in the Port Captain's Office no later than March 26th Some ideas on the pictures above.
