2022 PaNNTOA Photo Contest

2022 PaNNTOA Photo Contest

JULY 2023 NEWSLETTER – NEW COMMODORE IN TOWN September 1, 2023 - I hope everyone had a great July 1, for those who celebrated Canada Day and July 4th for our Independence Day. I can't think of anything better than being with friends and family on a Nordic Tug on the water to celebrate both of our great Nations.

Volunteer Opportunity: Membership Director (Avg. less than 1 hour/month) September 1, 2023 - Our all-volunteer organization is STILL looking for a new Membership Director.  

This is a role easily performed by anyone with access to the website. Our staff wizard has created several automated tools and processes to make the job straightforward.  

The membership director provides information to the PaNNTOA board related to membership statistics, reaches out to potential members referred by other members, sends membership lists to sponsors that offer discounts (sponsors must pinky swear they will not send spam based on our supplied list) quarterly, and, if so inclined, thinks about ways to increase membership.  

The membership director also works with the Communications director to reconcile bounced emails (did the member forget to renew? Sell their boat? Find a cooler group to hang out with? (Can’t be that!))  

If interested (even vaguely), please email the Commodore. Thanks!
Searching for a slip? Willing to share your slip? March 17, 2023 - As we cruise this year, many of us will leave our slips empty for months at a time. Slip Share allows members to share their vacant slips with other PaNNTOA members.

Commodore's Corner

March 18, 2020 - Greetings Fellow Tuggers! Your Board held a meeting on March 10th to discuss the upcoming Rendezvous as well as the Corona Virus outbreak and its potential impacts. We held very long and thoughtful discussions and had hoped to continue planning for the rendezvous. However, over the past week, due to the rapid and dramatic changes in the growth of the outbreak, it became obvious that we needed to cancel to protect your health, well-being, and safety. Most of you have probably already seen my statement on the web site addressing this. The plan for the 2021 rendezvous is to continue at the Sydney location, if available, using the plans already completed.  
 
We also discussed the upcoming officer lineup for the 2020-2021 slate of officers. The following have all agreed to continue in our respective positions: Myself (Commodore), Doug Ford (Vice Commodore/Secretary), Chris Sodeman (Membership Director), and Mike Young (Communications Director). These are pending approval by the membership at our General Meeting (time and place TBD). [Read more]
