<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#26282A">As some of you know Bruce McArthur has, due to personal and professional obligations, retired as Sonar Class President and as Sonar Class Administrator. This has given the Sonar
Class Executive Committee the impetus to think about restructuring. To that end we are thrilled to announce that Rick Doerr, probably our most well known and accomplished Sonarian, has agreed to step up and assume the Class President position. In addition
we have hired Ed “Buttons” Padin as Class Administrator. Buttons is an enthusiastic sailor, a member of Larchmont Yacht Club and, since leaving Madison Ave., an experienced class administrator. He is class administrator for the Viper 640 and for the Buccaneer
18 classes and now for the Sonar Class.</span><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Among those objectives, as you can well imagine, were to improve promotion of the Sonar and of the Sonar Class starting with the website and, working hand in hand with that, to drive membership in the class and in fleets.</span><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

John Bainton and Hans Dickel have stepped up. The new site will: maintain all the functions of the old site, attract more traffic which will promote and grow our class, provide enhanced marketing capabilities targeting potential new members, offer many new
features such as being smart phone friendly, and save money on a monthly basis.</span><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
