On November 8, there was a meeting held at the West Haven Flotilla to elect the officers for the 2008
term. The meeting was attended by DCP Nick Sidorick, and SO-PB Bob Bowolick, covering the event for the Boat
Basin Newsletter. Several Flotilla members were also present.
The Flotilla Commander (Malinda Hennen) was re-elected for a second term. Art Fregeau was elected as Vice Flotilla
