Student<BR>-----------------------------<BR><BR>WCSC UPDATE<BR>This isn't the
forum where we can properly thank everyone who has stepped up and helped
out over the past several months but believe me...there's much to be
thankful for and excited about. The property has been acquired. Wow, how many
years have we been talking about it? Now we (the WSF actually) have done
it. Sit back and just soak that in for a minute. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This was a big step, but the "celebration" was a
quite one because there's still so much to do with developing programs, fixing
up the property, and continuing to secure the funds to make this work. There are
currently plenty of opportunities to get involved, help out, and make an impact
in your local sailing community. Anything from hands on maintenance to PR work
to the ever-present financial support needed to accomplish the remaining steps.
Contact Pat Maloney or any of the WSF board members to see how you can help
create something great. <A

<DIV>CAPTAIN HOOK PARTY<BR>The plan is a simple one. A case of Mt. Gay Rum, the
Captain Hook team telling stories and signing autographs, and everyone
celebrating the team's final push for Olympic gold in China. Stop by the club
after 5:00 WEDNESDAY NIGHT to check things out. The party runs until
the Mt. Gay is all gone. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR>420 NATIONALS<BR>We're hosting the 420 Nationals this weekend! This is
a big event with national attention. Just because those WSF/WSS/WCSC people make
it look easy it doesn't mean they don't need help. Spectator sailboats, help
launching, people hanging around just to help out for whatever reason. They need
it! E-mail Ross Siemers at <A
href="mailto:Ross.Siemers@NorthMemorial.com">Ross.Siemers@NorthMemorial.com</A> if
you'd like to ask where you can help out. More at <A
href="http://www.WYC.org/420">www.WYC.org/420</A> There's no
keelboat racing this weekend, so what else you going to do, mow the lawn during
a drought, I don't think so.</DIV>

<DIV>WEST LOT CLOSED THIS THURSDAY </DIV>
<DIV>YES, the WEST LOT is CLOSED on Thursday. Fortunately you are welcome to
park in the Wayzata Bay Shopping Center lot on Thursdays. It's nicely lighted,
safe, and has some great shops to visit before the race. <A

CRAWLER<BR>The Crawladore has declared next Saturday (7/28/07) as a Night
Crawler. Show up at the club around 6:00 for a social and then set sail sometime
around sunset. Darin Bush and Vicki Shaudte are running this event, so contact
them if you have questions. <BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR>THURSDAY MENU<BR>While the Connie's away the UofM kids will
play. Seven bucks a head for hotdogs or brawts or something in a bun and
the profits go support the UofM sailing team. You can even get a t-shirt, so
bring a couple extra bucks if you want to look styling. <BR><BR><BR>SAILING
EXCHANGE STUDENT<BR>Exchange students can be a great thing to have in your home.
