[J22-Fleet 1] J22

[Lars Hansen]

Hello all.

This was a great year for J22 fleet #1

1) We need a bunch of tid-bits to make up a news letter. Please send me 
a bit about a  J22 regatta, an event or just a great moment from the 
summer. The key is to name names and tell a tiny little story. No more 
than 3 sentences, do not spend more than 5 min on this. Go!

2) When I looked at Dallas's pictures on line for trophy photos I 
counted 37 boats. Way to go! If we are indeed the largest fleet I think 
its time to revise the WYC link to fleets. In alpha numeric form J22 
should go before J24? forget that Capri goes before J

3) This one is personal. A reddish or Burgundy colored PT Cruiser with 
lots of stickers on the back, driven by a woman with short dark hair an 
sunglasses was seen to have trouble in the parking lot on the day of the 
last Commodore Cup race. She left her mark on my car door and I would 
like to talk to her. I hoped she would come forward but that did not 
happen. I asked a bunch of people who she might be but no answer. So now 
I'm forced to go public. If you know who this person is would you please 
let me know?

4)  The J22 class is looking for new officers, if you have any interest 
this is a great opportunity to help your class. The class officers meet 
by conference call about once a month. Please consider helping your class.

5) Same thing J 22 fleet # 1 is looking for helpers. The fleet captain 
cannot, should not, do it alone,We need a secretary, treasurer, social 
chair, and a bunch of other stuff. Otherwise the captain gets burned 
out, look at Steve Vizanko, Jappa, George Hansen. They work real hard 
for us, we need to help out as well.

6) On a sad note, not only did Terry Flynn lose his son last month, I 
just heard he also lost his house to hurricane Ike. Terry is a great guy 
and has been one of the most constant and reliable people in the J22 
class. Aside from buying sails what can we do to support Terry?

I know this is a long list but if you read it twice it may help with 
comprehension. Why is it that e mails with more than one thought are so 
hard to digest?

Well there you go, write something, do something, don't let others do it 
for you. Do something with out being asked, help your fellow sailors.
