<DIV><SPAN class=499515918-03092009><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi
Everyone,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=499515918-03092009><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Capri 25s,
Sonars and S2 7.9s will square off for speed and parties the weekend of
September 18-20. There are opportunities available to volunteer (separate
email to follow), sponsor the event with cash (the rum fund, gets your company
logo on the banner) or products (edible and nonedible). We will have a
raffle, and raffle prizes are needed. If we get a few bigger items, we may
have a live auction. This all helps defray the regatta expenses, keeps the
fleets out of debt, and promotes your company and/or
products.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
