Via International Skeeter Association Secretary/Treasurer Steve Schalk:

Greetings everyone,

While the 2024-25 season is still not complete, it is time for the fall dues notice for next season. Dues are $25 and are payable by November. You can send a check or use the on line payment on iceboat.org. There is a Paypal fee for that, so a check is your low cost option. Click here to pay dues online.

 

Remember that the 2025 ISA is going to happen in December most likely in Minnesota. News on that will come out each week beginning shortly after Thanksgiving.

 

The best ice in Minnesota is always in December!

Lake Geneva Swap Meet — Sunday, October 19, 10 AM
Lake Geneva Yacht Club
1250 S Lake Shore Dr,
Fontana-On-Geneva Lake, WI

Via our southern friends at the Skeeter Ice Boat Club in Lake Geneva:

Hey Iceboaters!

Weather forecast just keeps improving! Rain should be gone by 8am followed by an awesome NW breeze to dry things out.
1250 S Lakeshore Drive, Fontana is your address. PLEASE PLAN ON ARRIVING NO EARLIER THAN 9AM! Folks will be on the grounds to help you get parked and unloaded. Mary Jane Schalk has, as always, been invaluable. She has arranged food and beverages for the event and sent me a photo of where we intend to set up things.

 

A special thank you to fellow ice boaters and LGYC leaders, Tom Lothian and Maru Urban. Tom has helped us get use of the club and supplied beverages while Maru has worked his butt off moving boats and clearing space for our event. Thanks, guys! Maru is cleaning up building storage and moved several of our member NItes down to the pad. If you store your Nite at LGYC come use the event as a tune up. SR Marine and Dave’s Machining will be on hand so come get your boat ready to sail this season.

Nites on parade.

Incidentally, I saw that Maru posted a picture on the Nite page of the aforementioned boats he lined up. Be advised! These boats may not yet be for sale?? ( but slipping your business card into the cockpit with an offer might be worth the trip).

We like tacos.

Again, come hungry! The food will be awesome as will the bloody bar… See you all tomorrow.
