2009<BR></STRONG><BR><STRONG>COMMODORE'S COMMENTS</STRONG><BR>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. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.

page gives you the opportunity to offer a skill or view the job board. Managed
