ADA REGATTA THIS WEEKEND
This Saturday and Sunday is the 5th Annual WYC American Diabetes Association 
Regatta. If you've never attended this regatta, it's a big deal with great 
food, silent auction, music and there's even boat racing!

You can register on Thursday night, by contacting the ADA directly, by 
downloading a form from http://www.wyc.org/ada.htm  or by showing up between 
8:00am and 9:00am on Saturday morning.

Pledges are strongly encouraged but not required. Get your crew to chip in 
some money and you'll be fine. Or get some real pledges or talk to your 
employer about matching your boat donations and you'll be a hero before you 
even hit the race course. And if you can't find crew, kill two birds with 
one stone by convincing your coworker/family/neighbor donors to bid for crew 
positions on your boat.

This is a marquee event for our club that raises 10's of thousands of 
dollars every year in the name of our club and sailing. It's a fun regatta, 
Commodore Brigham has guaranteed that we'll have excellent wind, they have 
great keeper trophies, and you get to do a good thing. Visit 
http://www.wyc.org/ada.htm  for more info and see you Saturday morning!


CHICAGO MAC
Congratulations to Bill Peterson, three generations of Nimmers, and the 
entire crew of Chewbacca for winning Section 1 of the Chicago Mac. Other WYC 
entrants included Quintessence III with a very respectable 4th, and Chippewa 
(who won Fleet A at RaceWeek this year) with a mid fleet finish in the very 
competitive Farr 395 Class. Lars Hanson won the J105 class with IL sailor 
Brag Wagner. I don't keep track of this stuff, but I'm going to unofficially 
declare this as AIS's best showing ever at the Chicago Mac.
