<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The ice is out and the Cool Cup is less than two weeks away. This is a great way to kick off the season and get your program ready to go. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Payment options and amounts are all up to date and can be found at: <A href="http://wyc.org/j22/ShoppingCart.aspx">http://wyc.org/j22/ShoppingCart.aspx</A>. You can also pay by check at the event if you prefer. Each boat is expected to pay Fleet dues regardless of whether or not you race in this event. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As we discussed at the winter meeting, the "all-in" dues are again $200, covering Fleet dues and both regattas. Individual regattas are $100, and Fleet dues only $50. These are great deals for a weekend of the lake to ourselves, great racing, two meals and beverages for your team. We will also have t-shirts for sale at the event and some great Stormtech gear to try on, thanks to John Klick. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Crew substitutions are generally ok for this event, provided we know in advance, and overall weight is not significantly affected. A couple of you have contacted me already, please let me know ahead of time to avoid any controversy. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To help get a count, I'd like each boat to respond to this with a yes, no or maybe on whether you'll be competing. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For further information, the NOR is on line and the SI's will be given out at registration.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>See you on the water. </DIV>
