Ping Pong Diplomacy Remember how the world just opened up for Forrest Gump once he started playing ping pong, um, I mean, table tennis? Well now’s your chance to be discovered for your prowess, or at least get out of the house and have a good time with people you otherwise might not see until Spring. The BYC is hosting its first ever Ping Pong Night on Weds Feb 8 at 6:30 p.m., and if all goes well, we’ll do it again the following week, Weds Feb 15. We’ll have Round Robin tournament play, maybe some instruction, and a whole lot of fun. Please RSVP to membership@bostonyachtclub.net by Mon Feb 6, so we can get a headcount for the ladder and snacks. From Karen Tenenbaum and Susan Bragdon,BYC Ping Pong Envoys

Back to the Future – the final chapter of an RC Trilogy Thank you to Geoff Smith and Harvey Brand who have agreed to step and fill the void at the top of the Race Committee until we come up with a more permanent solution. Between them, they have more years of RC experience than I can count on all my digits, and we are very fortunate that both of them were willing to go back to the trough for more. However, we still need to find a more permanent solution as Geoff and Harvey have set a maximum term limit of 12 months. From Charlie Garrard, BYC Commodore
