Hi Sailors and non-sailors,
The 3rd Star of the North Regatta is fast approaching. There are a lot of
jobs to be done, and I am hoping that you will generously volunteer, as you
have in the past. Some of the work needs to be done while the competitors
are on the water, so I am hoping for volunteers from other fleets, or
non-sailing family members (hard to believe, but there are a few). Please
do not forward this email to your entire address book of people who want to
come drink and party for free. (Yes, some people did that last year. I
don't have the time or energy to deal with it.) I also cannot promise a
Mount Gay hat to volunteers. We may have a lottery for leftover hats.
There are some places where "3 or 4" people are needed, like clean-up etc.
Consider signing up the crew of your boat for one of these tasks.
NEW VOLUNTEER NEED: This year, for the first time, we will have 3 Sonars
with disabled sailors. We need one volunteer dedicated to each boat, to
help with rigging, boarding, unboarding and putting the boat away. That
means being there early for dock time, and being there when the boats return
to the dock, even though we do not know when that will be. These volunteers
can certainly help on shore with meal prep, etc. while the sailors are
racing. If anyone can sign up to help a boat all 3 days, that would provide
great consistency, an opportunity to get to know the sailors, and really
feel like you helped someone do something they would not otherwise be able
to do.

We need 1 or 2 people to be "in charge" of the raffle. Organize the selling
of the tickets, conduct the drawing, etc. The money from the raffle keeps
the registration fee low. We still need raffle prizes, too.
