The Club has participated in this fun-oriented surf
contest that raises funds for the March of Dimes. There are five contest
divisions: (1) Team surf - The entire team surfs together; (2) Open
finless - sure you surf good with fins, lets see you try without them;
(3) Ripping Reps - short boards only and you must be a surf rep to
enter; (4) Stand up paddle (beach boy) - Surfers use oars to paddle
themselves into waves; and (5) Best Trick (open) - ride whatever board
you want - the surfer who does the most amazing maneuver wins. ASC's
Austin Saunders, owner of Austin Surfboards, is a sponsor. Last year, we entered two teams (Team Statue and Team Lunch Tray) and our members were the top three fundraisers. We rented an
oceanfront beach condo for the weekend for a 3-day surf 'n fun weekend. This could
be a weekend long surfari.
Nominations
of Officers and Board Members for 2013
Date of Event: November 3 - 17, 2012
Location: Internet-based nominations
This
is the period to step up and help run the ASC. Nominate yourself,
your friend or the member that you see supporting the Club on an
on-going basis. The
officer and board member descriptions are posted in the nominations
forum.
The primary requirement for service is an interest in promoting the
sport of surfing, protecting the environment and a commitment to do
something for the Club. The success of the
Club is directly related to the dedication and involvement of its
members. The time commitment is minimal, but the mission is important.
Your vote helps direct our success and may prove beneficial to the next
generations surfing opportunities.
Board of
Directors Meeting
Date of
Event: November 17, 2012 (Saturday, preceding the Fall Membership Meeting)
Time: 6:00pm
Fall
Membership Meeting & Social Gathering
Date of Event: November 17, 2012 (Saturday)
Time: 7:30pm
Location: TBD
Volunteer Coordinators: TBD
General Membership Involvement:
Required, guests are encouraged. This is
an opportunity for members to meet each other, listen to the campaign
speeches of Board nominees and to poke fun at surfers being way too
serious. Discussions about the Club’s direction tend to be laced with
stories about the great hurricane swell from the preceding week.
Remembering the issues provided by the candidates and wondering about
the number of pints consumed, is a common complaint on the following
morning. Come join in on the fun, but be sure and remember your speech
and campaign promises.
Election of Officers and Board
Members for 2013
Date of Event: November 19, 2012 through November 30, 2012
Location: Internet-based voting
The voting is easy and the importance to the operation of the Club is
immense. Be sure and cast your vote for the candidates that offer the
best coordination, insight and management of your Club. It is the goal
of our organization to be leaders in the support and promotion of the
sport of surfing. That can only be accomplished by electing individuals
that have the skills required to promote the organization, while
providing for the goals of the membership. The functions that the Club
engages in have the additional requirement of being fun. Finding
candidates able to offer this service and electing them, is the only
true requirement for membership in the ASC.

Party

Time: 4-7pm
Location: Fadó Irish Pub & Restaurant, 1 Park Place, Annapolis, MD 21401. Tel.: 410-626-0069

Get into the holiday spirit and
out of the cold water with the ASC. We
are starting off the festivities early this year. We invite everyone to
come and meet with folks that you may not be able to recognize for the
rest of the year, due to rubber suits. Have a few warm drinks, enjoy
the food and get festive. This is a great opportunity for the
membership to meet the new Board of Directors and make some suggestions
for
upcoming events. This party marks the last formal Club event of the
year and it
provides a great evening of surf story, family updates and joy for the
season. Bring a surf-starved friend and introduce them to the Club.
Behave yourselves though, because I have heard that he is making a list
and checking it twice.
