<P><SPAN>I still have extra medals from the LOWISA youth regatta which we've given out before but I'd also or alternatively like to suggest that we create a page link from the Sonar site that features the names, photos and a one line sailing bio. (I can design and put that together). I can name the link "Outstanding Sonar Fleet #5 Youth". I think we'd be the only fleet that would have this.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN>We have a number of kids who actively crew, sometimes in pretty tough conditions (I'm thinking of Alan's boys in the SOTN Friday and Team Racing regatta) where they could just as easily be on shore with their friends at the mall. I think this is worth some recognition.</SPAN></P>
