<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, the time has come to get planning in
motion for Bayfield Raceweek 2004 and we can use your help if you are
interested!</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This email came to you because you are now, once
were, will be, or would like to be involved in helping make this
the best race week ever.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since this will be the 25th annual Bayfield
Raceweek, additional complexity will be introduced but still, the
goal in the planning is</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2> to divide the
overall project into manageable tasks that won't overload people and to get a
better handle tracking progress.</FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2>The
goal is to get as much done before January/February as possible so that people
can better plan their race/vacation commitments for the year and so that there
is not as much of a rush to get tasks done as the event draws near.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The first task is to close out the 2003 raceweek
(budget, feedback, etc.). John McQuillan, Mike Spence and I plan to set a
time to meet within the next week or so to do that. After we get that done
(and maybe at the same meeting), we need to put together a set of goals for
the 2004 event, a tentative budget and generally have a brainstorming session
about how we can meet those goals. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please let me know if you would like to come
to this meeting and/or forward this email to anyone that I may have missed.
Also, since this is the 25th anniversary, Raceweek was initially started by
the Apostle Islands Yacht Club, and there is significant overlap in our fleets
membership, we should try to make an effort to bring them in at some level
of involvement. Another aspect to discuss.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That's it for now, hope to see you
soon,</FONT></DIV>
