View this email in your browser Issue 11: November 2026 It’s hard to believe the sailing season is over, especially since we had such spectacular fall weather. Thanks to each and every volunteer who helped make this season a great success, both on and off the water! Be sure to keep in touch over Slack during the off-season, and attend our holiday party mid-November. A special thanks to Anders Carlsson who has diligently helped with The Telltale this year, and is filling in while I am away this month. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! — Meighan Depke, Editor 2026 Volunteer Time Our service time season ends on December 31, and you'll need to meet your service time requirement by that date.  Remember that this year, you're able to report your hours at any time using your service time dashboard. There won't be an end-of-year reporting push this year, so don't wait to report your contributions! Still need to meet your service time for 2026? Looking for additional hours? Help get our boats ready for the winter. Now that all our boats are back in the yard, there's work to be done to safely store them for the winter months. Please join the #colgate-maintenance-general channel on Slack where we’re coordinating this work.  Social News Invited: Sail Chicago Holiday Party The Social Committee and Women on the Water Committee are excited to host our first ever holiday party!
