Wayzata Yacht Club - E-Blaster - April 22, 2009

COMMODORE'S COMMENTS
Boats are going in and sailing has begun. The kids are racing and freezing their tails off, the adults are watching from the patio and raising masts, Bren is working 16 hour days, and the Bert-n-Ernie Seminar Show is on tap in a couple weeks. All the usual signs of spring in my book. 

Transparancy is a popular term as of late. We haven't made any big changes to club operations, but we are trying to make them more visible. With that in mind, I've added a few new pages to the "WYC Board" section of our website. Yes, they are mostly empty right now, but check in from time to time to see what's up, volunteer, or ask a question. 

- Volunteer Opportunities: We're a volunteer club, this page gives you the opportunity to offer a skill or view the job board. Managed by Dutch Bull. 
http://wyc.org/WYCBoard/VolunteerOpportunities/tabid/836/Default.aspx
- Board Meeting Summary: This page gives you a brief outline of what your BOD is working on and information about how to see more details about club operations. Managed by Terry Foster.

- List your Jr. Sailors in the Log Book: Full (Family) members can now include the names of your kids in the log book (because they are also members). If you'd like to include them in the 2009 Log Book, simply use our online membership info update form.

SEMINAR - THIS THURSDAY - FLEET CHAMPION TIPS
Thursday April 23rd - 6:30pm at WYC Clubhouse
Actual "Rock Star" sailors from different fleets will line up to answer your questions. This should be good and relevant. Only reason to not attend this is if you're a presenter. Happy Hour with Apps included.

WCSC - SCOUTING PROGRAM
A new and popular program at the sailing center allows Scouts to earn their Small Boat Sailing merit badge or the Girl Scout Smooth Sailing Interest Project. Pass the word to any scouts you knows.

You already know how this works, and you know it's a blast. It's early in the season so get on the case pronto. Several boats are already raising funds for the ADA. 

- Silent Auction Items: Donations currently being accepted. An easy way to make a difference. Everyone has something to give.

- Race the Regatta: You can raise funds online for your boat by simply asking to be listed and then e-mailing your friends. No need to collect checks. You don't even have to race the regatta!
