December 12, 2004 Meeting Presentation

Greg Richmond Presentation

Guest speaker, Greg Richmond, Manager of the West Marine store in North Olmsted informed us about the purchase of 62 BoatUS stores by West Marine. The store names will remain as they are for now. Next year there will be only one catalogue and the West Advantage and BoatUS cards will be combined.

Greg showed a short video about the stores, the trailering club, towing insurance, and the life jacket loaner program for children.

Greg mentioned he had intended to come to this meeting before being asked to speak. He has built a small wooden boat and intends to build another in the near future. He was atttracted to CABBS because of who we are - a great group of people interested in building wooden boats.
