On a beautiful Spring day, Circumnavigators gathered in New York City for the Annual Meeting, which included an entertaining and informative presentation from Washington Chapter member Kip Knudson. International President Peter Mosse passed the historic whale’s tooth gavel to our new president Margaret Ellen Parke.

Past Presidents Bill Holm, Howard Matson, Charlie Blaisdell, Peter Mosse, Esther Dyer and Jeff Kelly welcoming newly elected International President Ellen Parke.

2014 Summer The Log

2014 Summer The Log

The Log, with its distinctive two-lion cover, is now in members’ hands. If you did not receive your copy, please contact Tracy at headquarters. The cover shot was taken by Naples Chapter member Roger Weatherburn Baker.

The Log staff would appreciate feedback and suggestions. It is important that members give us information for two running sections—All Over the Map and Scuttlebutt.

A new feature will be the column “Where in the world is…”. The recent Log spotlighted Kyzyl, the city at the center of Asia. Have you been to a spot that even the most savvy Circumnavigators might not recognize? Let us know and it might make the publication.

Have a great summer, and Luck to you!

unnamedApril showers bring May flowers, and we hope our members, especially those in the northern part of America, will enjoy a beautiful spring after that tough winter.

At the end of May, our Club leadership will have some big changes after the Annual Meeting is held in New York City on May 30, beginning at noon. The official meeting will held for members only. After the meeting adjourns at about 1 PM, guests will be welcome to join in for lunch and a presentation from Kip Knudson, former grantee and now Alaskan official.

International President Peter J.C. Mosse is stepping down after a two-year term. The membership thanks Peter for his leadership and commitment to our Club organization and values. Peter is a long-term member who has held a variety of important positions in the Club. He can be assured that the calls will continue to come for his help and advice.

We will welcome his successor, Ellen Parke, former First Vice President, to take over the leadership. Congratulations and good luck, Ellen.

Coming in the next couple of weeks will be the latest issue of The Log. It is filled with outstanding stories, photos and news. Please contact Tracy at headquarters if you do not receive a copy. An email blast will be sent to all members (with email addresses) when the Log goes in the mail.

As work begins on upcoming issues of The Log and Log Express, please let us know if you have any good stories to contribute.

Luck to you!!
