> Hey Everybody -
> 
> Please try (again) to show up on Saturday, at 11:30 and help promote what we all love -- sailing. I'll be there.

> Think of all the great times you've had on this lake, on your boat. Help introduce somebody else to that experience. Heather has done a great job, a really great job, promoting this, in spite of all the set-backs.

> Send her an email if you can make it. Or just register via the link below. 
> 
> This past weekend, I had the opportunity to return to the city park marina where I learned to sail as a kid (in Louisville KY). It was just an accident of timing, as we were in town celebrating my parents' 60th wedding anniversary. But there, last Saturday, were tents and chairs and displays and volunteers......and about 100 people waiting in line with their kids to go out on a sailboat!

> That's how it starts. At least for some it does. For me it did. 
> 
> Maybe you can make that connection for somebody else.

> Thanks.

>> Dear WYC fleets:
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> We’ve rescheduled the Bob Slocum Memorial Family Fun Regatta and Picnic for June 21. Please let Heather Fraser (heatherf at pcspeed.com) know if you are still in, or can now make the event at the new time! Registration link below:

>> 
>>  
>> 
>> The rescheduled event is built around Saturday’s Big Island race, but you don’t need to do the Big Island race to participate. Here's how it will play out: 
>> 
>> Attendees meet at the club sometime between 11:30 and noon for socializing, games, and lifejacket distribution. Some of the boats will already be out on the water for the Big Island race. We'll wait for them to come in (probably about 12:30) then we'll have our picnic with ice-cream sundae bar. 
>> 
>> After the picnic, attendees who don't have a boat will board one and go out for a boat ride! There’s nothing scheduled after that.
>> 
>> If you’re a boat owner/driver, we’d love to have you come at 11:30 to join in the fun, but you could probably show up as late as 12:30 as long as we know you’re coming and have you lined up with passengers.
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> Please use the link to sign up and/or let me know your status--we want to make sure we have enough boats for everyone to have a ride!
>> 
>> Thanks everyone—a little sun, light winds and no motorboat chop should make for a great event this Saturday!
>> 
>> Sincere regards,
>>
