TSUNAMI  FLEET DONATIONS
Thank you to everyone who donated to help buy boats for Tsunami effected
fishermen. We managed to raise $3320, enough to buy six and 1/2 fishing
boats. This amount does not include donations sent earlier by WYC members 
directly to the
ARC. Those donations, that we know of, would have tripled or quadrupled our 
total numbers.
And then there were many people who donated directly via employer matching 
programs or to other relief organizations.

So in other words, thanks so much to everyone who helped out through the WYC
donation or on your own.

Thanks to the fleets that really got behind giving, specifically, the J24's,
J22's, PHRF, MORC and AIS. Special mention should go to MORC and AIS because
of the amount of donations per fleet member. Fleet totals are posted on the
WYC home page at www.wyc.org.
