KUDOS are in order for your CBYRA. The 2011 Board of Directors reported at the annual meeting Saturday that the organization's previously overwhelming debt (many thousands of dollars) has been paid off. Under the leadership of CBYRA President Karin Mazi, the organization reported a final figure in the black for the first time in a number of years. And, it was done without dues increases - "We made difficult cuts," Mazi said, "and we had a very successful CBYRA (Annapolis) Race Week."

Annual Meeting On-line Registration issues
on
We have been having trouble with online registration - and finally - sort of - have it working again.
- Some people have been able to register for CCV and pay this afternoon.
- Others have registered - selected dinners to buy - but they don't show up on the Payment Page- and they get an error when they pay - because they are paying for nothing.
- Please register if you plan on coming. If necessary - just don't add the dinners to buy - but please put a note in the Comment Box that you will be paying for X number of dinners at the door.
- If all else fails - simply email Jon Moody that you want a reservation.
Web site issues continue
