[Sonar] Sonar Fleet Meeting Agenda

Fri Apr 20 09:17:01 CDT 2012

I wanted to two more items to the agenda:

1. Deciding to take an action to promote the use of the school Sonars for
the Family Regatta  (formerly ADA Regatta) for use by potential new Sonar
owners as well as families of students from the sailing center (also good
Sonar owner candidates as you'd likely agree).

It would consist primarily of making sure the boats are available and
reserved for such purpose as well as the ever so necessary marketing and
promotion through WYC and the WSCC channels

Having been involved with the Mike Plant regatta with the parents etc. last
year,  I believe that there is a good opportunity to persue a vein of fleet
growth that has not been persued yet.

2.  An announcement to continue to collect bio data on the Sonar youth
within the group for the 'Sonar Youth All Stars' page which is still
incomplete.   Here's what I'd like to collect for all Sonar fleet youth
under 21:

                           Age started sailing:

                           Text description of how started sailing and
where (free form < 200 words)

                           Major sailing accomplishments: (races won,
notable events < 100 words)

                           What I like about sailing Sonars at WYC  (< 100
words)
