<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>More info on the Smoozability
nominees:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Belinda "Barnie" Barnes: Barnie has been sailing on
Quick Draw for the last 6 years. She does a great job, always shows up and is a
ready to party. She makes an effort to get to know folks at the club and makes
the extra effort to integrate folks from other fleets into Capri events (plus
she brought the margarita ball to the raft-up party). She gets people fired up
to do things before and after the race and she loves to participates in Race
Week and outside regattas. She gives it her all to bring people together and has
her picture next to Party Animal in the dictionary.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bill Porter: How do you describe smoozability on
this level? Most dictionaries I consulted had Bill's picture next to the word
"smoozer". Always engaging, always helpful. Bill was very helpful with the food
for the Nationals. I ate the pork at one of the parties because I knew Bill had
cooked it. Bill is very deserving of this award given his years of volunteering
to help out the Capri Fleet. Bill is very well liked he has sailed with the old
Sudawn, Don Pearson, and now sails with Ellie Jay and others. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Carmella Zagone: Carmella helped tremendously with
the National Regatta. After Jay injured his hand, she stepped in to do much of
the leg work for the raffle. She help Jill with the food by organizing the pot
luck dinner and was always available to help with anything that needed help
during the regatta. Always with a smile on her face and a friendly "sure I can
do that attitude". Carmella helped to make planning and running the regatta a
lot more fun.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Craig "Kiwi" Sanderson: If you are only known by
your Trade Mark you come highly recommended for the Smooze Award. Kiwi is a
great swimmer -- you may remember the fish that brought all the boats together
in a circle at the Nationals. He will dive for anything - boats, booze, and
buoys. He's working to improve his sailing all of the time and I trust him
anywhere on a boat. He has fun doing anything, and is always making sure that
everyone else is enjoying themselves also. This is the key to Kiwi - he's
originally from Christ Church, New Zealand. Fun and Cute. Great Schmoozer. Great
Sailor. Great Man. Great Friend. Definitely needs to get this award!
