[S2] Bob Slocum Memorial Family Fun Regatta and Picnic Saturday Afternoon

[Tom Elsen]

Everyone - 

This is a REALLY fun event for younger kids. Highly recommend. 

If you have an opportunity, grab a couple of kids and bring 'em along. Or just show up -- give some newbies a shot at understanding the thing we love. 

Heather has always always always done a great job with the event. 

And, speaking from personal experience, a 'kid' on my boat two years ago got such a huge kick driving Hard Tack that he's now one of the most involved high school sailors on the lake. 

....It does make a difference.

> Hi Tom, please forward to the fleet. Many thanks, Heather Fraser
> 
> Hello Fleet,
> 
> Please join us with your boat at Noon on Saturday for the Bob Slocum Memorial Family Fun Regatta and Picnic!
> 
> This year’s event promises good weather and light winds, perfect for taking kids and novices out for a short-but-real boat race. Throw in a picnic, ice cream sundae bar and prizes, all for a small suggested donation to WCSC, and you’ve got the makings of something great!
> 
> We’re expecting a pretty good crowd this year, so plan on bringing your boat, inviting a few kids and novices, and picking up one or more walk-ins as well. 
> 
> I’ll be at the club this afternoon/evening to provide info and “sign up” boats. It’s not a pre-registration--we do registration at the event (and it’s fun!) but at least I have a sense about who’s coming and can think about how to match up boats with people who will be walking in….
> 
> Note: the wonderful Ernie Brody has devised a scoring system that rewards you for having kids, novices, and many generations on your boat, and there are prizes for that—so if you’re all about the win, bear it in mind as you plan…;^)
> 
> Thanks to all who’ve supported this event in the past, and welcome to anyone who will come this year. It’s a lot of fun and we look forward to seeing you!

> Sincerely,
