J BOAT REGATTAS
The J24 U-Gotta Regatta will take place September 13th and 14th. It's a
Worlds Qualifier, so plan on a big crowd on the start line. The J22 Western
Great Lake Districts will take place September 20th and 21st. If you're not
already signed up, start getting a crew together.  Visit
http://www.wyc.org/j24/ or http://www.wyc.org/j22/Districts.htm for more
details


SILENT AUCTION
Jodie Hertig and Jay Gartin (Capri 25-Capricious) have volunteered to
coordinate this year's Wayzata Sailing Foundation Silent Auction and would
like to solicit your help. Last year, the auction raised over $9,700 and
we'd like to think that we can meet or surpass this number in 2003.  Also,
Jodie and I vow to make the auction preparation a good time by planning a
few get-togethers with volunteers to meet, coordinate, and socialize.

Currently, we are looking for volunteers for various responsibilities. New
this year, the fleet with the most participation in volunteering will
receive a percentage of the auction proceeds! Please feel free to contact
Jay (952-949-2381 H, 612-803-2418 C, jgartin at ix.netcom.com) or Jodie
(952-975-9934 H, jodiepie1224 at msn.com) to volunteer. This is a chance for
you to make a real contribution to local sailing, so call right now!!!

Also, it's time for all club members to start pondering what you, your crew,
or company could donate for auction (merchandise, services, etc.) as we'll
be soliciting these in the coming days.  http://www.wyc.org/wsf
