sail for!</span></b><span style='font-family:"Geneva","serif";color:black'><br>
<br>
</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Geneva","serif";color:black'>Hi
all!<br>
With the blessing of the Burton Family, and the MYC Board of Directors, this
year we are adding an honorary "event" on top of the Burton Cup race
on Saturday. August 23rd called the MS Cup!<br>
<br>
All boats from the Minnetonka and Wayzata Yacht Clubs are invited to sail in
the race! MYC fleets start at 10:00am, and WYC fleets start at 10:30am. Please
note: As usual, MYC's J-22s will start with the Wayzata YC J-22 start. It looks
like over 100 boats should be on the lake for the race!<br>
<br>
There are no specific additional trophies or awards planned for the MS Cup,
although it is my hope to consider options for that in future years. In the
meantime, contributions of any amount to support MS research are welcome, and
truly appreciated! <br>
<br>
Donations to the National MS Society can be made in either of two ways. Follow
the link below to the MS Cup page, and you can make a secure online
contribution. (Link at bottom of this email)<br>
<br>
Click on the button that says "Make a donation" to help out!<br>
<br>
If you prefer to do it the "old fashioned way" you can also send a
check (made payable to the National MS Society) directly to my home at this
address:<br>
<br>
Blake Middleton<br>
551 Harrington Rd<br>
Wayzata, MN. 55391<br>
<br>
I will also be at the annual corn roast on Lighthouse Island at 6pm, displaying
the "Team Sail" banner. I'll be there to answer questions about MS,
to accept additional contribtions for the MS Society, and to enjoy a great
dinner, of course! My sincere thanks for your generous support, and for helping
me make a difference to find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis!<br>
