<DIV align=left><FONT size=3>As many of you know, the crew of Dakota is often missing form the WYC Awards Banquet in November. It is certainly not by choice, but because we are usually at the Cystic Fibrosis Breath of Life Gala and Auction which is too often held on the same night. Our (Paul and Suzy, boat owners) oldest son, John, has cystic fibrosis so we are very involved in planning the Gala and procuring auction items.........</FONT></DIV>

<DIV align=left><FONT size=3>Ahh.... You see where this is going. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV align=left><FONT size=3>One of the items we are putting together this year are collections of 65 different bottles of beer. When children are little they are not able to say Cystic Fibrosis so they often call their disease 65 Roses, thus the 65 beers. As you are provisioning your coolers on race days, consider dropping off one bottle of that favorite, or most interesting beer at Dakota and we promise it will get to the auction</FONT>, <FONT size=3>not our cooler!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=left><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=left><FONT size=3>If anyone has any other items or services they would like to donate to the Auction, we would certainly take those too. We raised over $1,000,000 last year and are hoping for an even bigger year this fall. All donations are tax deductible. For more information, please go to the CFF website. </FONT><A href="http://www.cff.org/Chapters/minnesota/"><FONT size=3>www.cff.org/Chapters/minnesota/</FONT></A></DIV>
<P><FONT size=3>We will start collecting "65 Beers for a Cure" this Thursday and continue through September. Thank you for your help! </FONT></P>
