<DIV><SPAN class=769531123-23012009><FONT face=Arial size=2>The 2009 Star of the
North Regatta has been scheduled for September 18-20. I am very excited to
serve as chairperson, with the help of Dutch Bull. I would like to get
started with committee meetings and spread out the work over the year instead of
waiting until the last minute.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=769531123-23012009><FONT face=Arial size=2>An enthusiastic
person is needed to represent the S2 Fleet on the committee. Primary
responsibilities will include attendance at committee meetings (not too many of
those, I hope), and building the numbers of the S2 Fleet.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

participate with fewer than 12. We know there are other boats within a
reasonable driving distance. A personal invitation will often do the
trick.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
