BANQUET WRAP-UP
Thanks to everyone for a great banquet. The bylaw vote passed, we had some 
great silent auction items, the live auctions were a hoot, the trophy photos 
were works of art, Johnny & Kristin won the raffle, the slideshow rocked, 
the awards presentation was actually entertaining this year, we gave out a 
new award you'll never want to win, the food didn't taste like chicken, 
Ernie Brody was honored as our inaugural Emeritus Board Member, the band 
rocked, lots more stuff I can't repeat in print, and it seemed that everyone 
went home happy.
Key Stats:
- WSF Auction - 14k raised
- Andy Crew - Matt Johnson
- Sportsmanship - Blake Middleton
- Foster Award - Ernie Brody
- Commodore Special - Larry Aubuchon
- Doc Sam - Mark Weum
- Bail Bond - WYC BOD
- BOTY - Ernie Worthley
- Thanks Don Sundell for organizing another great banquet!


WOMENS ROLEX
Most of the MWST didn't stand up at the banquet when honored for race 
participation because most of them were in a truck someplace in Kansas 
towing a J22 to the Rolex. Currently they are doing great considering the 
competition. Susan Mattis Turnham of Duluth is having a smoking regatta and 
is currently ahead of Anna Tunnicliffe.

DEEP WATER
The movie Deep Water is coming to the Lagoon Theater December 6th. This 
Golden Globe race documentary is about the Donald Crowhurst drama/tragedy 
that occurred during the greatest sailboat race of all time (excluding WYC 
racing). Who's going to organize a club fieldtrip? Craiggae, where are you?

UNCLAIMED TROPHIES / GLASSWARE
Photos, Glassware, Trophies from the banquet are at the clubhouse waiting to 
be picked up. Please come pick them up and give them a place to be loved and 
admired.


SHAKELTON CUP
Bren has been checking flight schedules to Hawaii, but the intrepid 
Shakelton Cup sailors continue checking the water temperature to make sure 
they don't get frozen in. Come down on a Sunday afternoon for a sail to 
Maynards. NOR at www.WYC.org.


THANK YOU
This has been an exceptional year at out club. Certainly the most 
challenging and eventful year in my memory. Countless members of our sailing 
community stepped up to make a positive contribution to our sailing 
community. Money, time, sweat, expertise, everything. Not just the sailing 
center, but racing, our club, our events, everything. You all rock!
