Don't miss our next meeting on March 20th at the Midway Point restaurant at 635 LBJ and Midway. We'll begin the meeting promptly at 7. WBA Secretary Richard Haug has prepared a very informative presentation on "The Dodge Family and Their Boats" that you won't want to miss. Our meetings also give everyone an opportunity to give input regarding the activities of the Club, and to enjoy fellowship with other members.
Join us for a light meal and moderate libation prior to the meeting. We'll gather at Midway Point at 5:30. See you there!
A New Look for the Masthead
You may have noticed a slight change in the Bilge Pump's masthead this issue. The new look is intended to resemble the hand-painted names on the transoms of many our our restored classics. Look for a few more tweaks to the Bilge Pump's look and contents in coming issues.
Please take a look in the shed or garage for the leftover parts or other saleable items you can donate to the club. Bring them to any WBA meeting, or contact David Kanally at david@historywithheart.com for pickup.
