CLEAN UP DAY
Tomorrow, Saturday at 9:00am. 
Swing by and visit with Steve "Tom Sawyer" Bren and ask for a paintbrush or broom. If Steve likes you he might even give you a power tool to play with. This is a great time to support the club, enjoy some great forecasted weather and catch up on club gossip. Rumor has is many board members plan to show up to help out and be available to answer member questions.


IT'S TIME
The marina is open for business, so let's review a few of Bren's ground rules!
- Leave your trailer at the club, it's Steve's. 
- Leave your ladder at the crane, it's Steve's. 
- Use cheap mooring lines or forget snubbers? Steve will fix and bill you. 
- Hang out in the building before remodeling is complete, you'll work for Steve.


KATTACK AT WYC
Do you have a GPS unit yet? As you may know, Kattack will again be at WYC this year. But this year all fleets, all races, all boats will be included. The one thing you need is a compatible GPS unit. Garmin GPS units with a USB port are what you need, and are available for under $200. Visit www.Kattack.com > Support > Hardware Requirements  for a list of suggested GPS Units.

ADA REGATTA
The ADA Regatta is just over one month out! It's time to line up your teams and start some fundraising. Fundraising is as easy as handing a pledge form to each of your crew members and asking them to send an e-mail to friends and family asking for support.  http://wyc.org/ADA-pledge.pdf
