DID YOU STEAL THE BANQUET DECORATIONS?
Nearly half of our banquet decorations were stolen by overly enthusiastic 
club members after the banquet this year. The significant cost of these 
items are justified only by using them for many years and we can't afford 
having them taken.

Return these to the clubhouse immediately or mail them to WYC, P.O. Box 585, 
Wayzatam, MN 55391. We've declared amnesty for the next couple weeks, but 
after that the banquet committee is gathering a posse.

If  you would like to purchase your own oversized burgee, contact Mark 
Oppen.


BANQUET WINNERS
I'm sure I'll miss someone here, but congratulations to the Wayzata 150 
committee (Dee Geary, Don Sundell, Greg Grassle, MWST) for the Commodore's 
Special, Dave Bennett and Hellfire for the Doc Sam, Sean Hendrickson for the 
Sportsmanship Award, Johnny Peterson for the Andy Crew, Steve Mulich for the 
Bail Bond Award, and of course to Amity III who finally won Boat of the Year 
after last year's heartbreaking second place. Way to Go! Details will be in 
a forthcoming Weathermark.


NEW BOARD MEMBERS and CHANGING OF THE GUARD
Welcome to Judy Woellner as our latest addition to the WYC Board. Dick 
Saylor retired to Florida earlier this year and Judy will fill his vacant 
seat. Scott Brigham is now our reigning Commodore, please bow in his 
presence next time you see him and thank him for the significant commitment 
being Commodore involves. And a special thanks to Mark Janda who has guided 
us through some major projects over the last three years. Thanks for all 
your time and effort! Mark is now moving on assist with the Wayzata Sailing 
School board.


TROPHIES
Unclaimed trophies, photos, and glassware are at the clubhouse. Please stop 
by sometime during the holidays to pick them up.


FOUNDATION AUCTION
Thank you to Meghan Nimmer (AIS-Chewbacca) for stepping in at the last 
minute to organize and run the WSF auction. Over $8,000 was raised at this 
very important fundraiser. Of course it's never too late to donate to the 
new sailing school which is especially in need of financing at this early 
stage. If you'd like to make a year end tax deductible contribution, please 
visit http://www.wyc.org/wsf/wss/


BANQUET WRAP-UP
Thank you to Merry Beth and Kevin Hovey for all their work in organizing the 
banquet. This was an especially big challenge since we were using a new 
venue. A survey will be in your next print Weathermark allowing you to 
provide feedback on what you liked or disliked about our new location.


COUNTDOWN
Only 159 days until the Ice Breaker Tune-Up race. Just hold your breath, it 
won't be long...


Sail Fast...in your DN!!!!!!!!!!!
