ADA REGATTA
The ADA Regatta is now officially on the horizon. Time to start lining up 
your crew and getting ready for June 14th and 15th for the one true club 
wide regatta we host each year.

First, you should register for the regatta ahead of time. It saves you some 
money and it helps with planning. If you raise over $500 in donations, 
you're registration is FREE, and we know sailors like FREE.

Second, we're making donations much easier this year. If you plan to raise 
funds for the ADA we will add your boat to the boat sponsorship page on the 
website. All you and your crew will need to do is send an e-mail to your 
friends and family directing them to go online and make a donation. You 
don't need to collect any money, it's all automatic. To get a donation 
button setup for your team, just contact dallas at dallasjohnson.net or 
andy.spence-parsons at comcast.net and we'll get you set up.

WINE ON WAYZATA BAY
Tickets for the Friday Night, June 13th Regatta Wine Tasting are now 
available online. This is a great opportunity to bring your non-sailing 
friends to the club for a hob-nob social event and show them what a cool 
place it is. And this just in...the Man Law Special Council has designated 
this event for triple kitchen pass points if you bring your spouse. Yes, 
that's a big deal. It's even bigger when you remember we'll have 150 wines, 
food from Wayzata restaurants, music, special silent auction items, and wine 
tasting cruises.

So pick up your tickets before this event sells out. Your $35 ticket is a 
tax deductible donation.

ADVANCE CREW TRAINING
If you think you know more about sailing than Terry "Da Bear" Foster, you 
just might be right. But you won't be able to prove it unless you attend the 
Advance Crew Training seminars in June. This is the seminar that gives you 
the skills to actually earn that beer the skipper brings you, maybe you'll 
even learn enough to earn a team hat or a shirt from of the RBO. And if you 
try hard, maybe you'll learn enough to get the skipper to stop yelling at 
you. So stop acting like you know how to sail as well as you know how to tip 
back free beer and plan to attend.
June 3 - Bow Position  -  June 10 - Trimmer  -  Time: 6:00-8:30 pm
Member Cost: $10 per session
Non-member Cost: $15 per session
No pre-registration required.

APOSTLE ISLANDS RACEWEEK
The best summer regatta in the world, and it's right here (well...a bit 
north of here). There's even a cruising class this year.

CREW MEMBERSHIPS
This Thursday night is the deadline to become a crew member and have your 
name in the log book. While you can pay your crew dues later, you can't get 
your name in the log book after the fact. (note: if you'd attended Advance 
Crew Training last year you would have already known this).

See you on Thursday!
