WSF CUP
Marty Solhaug bought his way to victory last Saturday. I saw him staking out 
the WSF registration table, but I thought the cheep ways of J22 sailors 
would be enough to keep me in the lead. I WAS WRONG! But I have three more 
weeks to save up and buy down my score to pass him. If you don't want to buy 
points for your boat, buy them for my boat. Please!

Do yourself a favor and enter the WSF CUP to raise money for youth sailing. 
Look for the registration table and sign up or just buy more points. .Why 
waste money on sailmakers, riggers, coaches, and speed doctors in such an 
underhanded way. Just be honest about it and send the money to a good cause. 
Look what it did for Korinke.

WSF AUCTION DONATIONS NEEDED
The silent auction is our major youth fund raiser for the season. So if you 
want to have crew in 2015, you better donate some items to the auction in 
2005. This happens 100% from club members (family, annual, and crew). The 
Silent Auction is held at the WYC Banquet on Saturday November 12. Donated 
items will be picked up prior to the event from the clubhouse. Please 
contact  Mary.Foster at target.com or (612) 961-1173 to donate!

Past donated items included:
Electronics, Beauty Products - gift bags, spa treatments, Art, Sailing Gear, 
Clothing, Wine, Wine Tastings, Lessons - sailing, music, Training - 
computer, software, Consulting - business, computer, financial, Tickets - 
professional sports, collegiate, theater, orchestra, etc.


BRING THE TROPHIES IN
Time to start getting those trophies back to the club so that they can be 
set up for the banquet. The drill is simple.
1. polish on - polish off
2. If you didn't engrave your name by now, better hope the next winner does 
it for you.
3. Leave them at the clubhouse by the computer before October 22nd.
4. Even if you won, you still bring them in.


TROPHY PHOTOS
I have it on good authority that trophy photos will be posted before the end 
of the weekend at www.WYC.org. The good, the bad, and the ugly; it's all 
going to be there.  www.DallasJohnson.net/Photo
