<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is past time to finalize the regatta plans and
make sure everything is in place. There will be a regatta planning meeting this
Sunday after the race on the balcony if it is available. We need volunteers for
the food committee and the registration committee. Especially needed is several
people available during the day Saturday to help Jill prepare the Saturday night
feast. In addition Mark Weum and Pete Willenbring need help in collecting item
for a good raffle. If you have contacts that might want to support our regatta
with raffle items, please let Mark or Pete know. If you have contacts that might
want to serve as a regatta sponsor, please contact Dutch.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Last, but not least, you need to register for this
event and send us your money. I am attaching a copy of the registration form.
Print it out and get it to me. It is also available on the WYC web site in the
Capri 25 section. If you have any questions feel free to email me or contact me
at the club. </FONT></P>
