face=Arial size=2>PAT MALONEY<BR>One of our club's founding fathers, Pat Maloney
has stepped down as President of the WCSC. Pat has dedicated
himself to youth sailing over the past decade. In that time he has overseen our
youth programs from operating as a satellite facility of the LMSS, to a
certified non-profit organization, to the Wayzata Sailing
Foundation operating on WYC property, and now to the free standing
Wayzata Community Sailing Center on their own multi-million dollar center.
Yes, the current building looks pretty rough right now, but the
structure has been created for great things in the future from that facility.
</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can not express how important Pat
Maloney has been to the current and future of sailing and our youth
in Wayzata. Pat will remain active with the WCSC and WYC Board, but
please take a moment this summer to visit with Pat this summer and tell him how
much you appreciate his dedication to our club...and ask him how you can help
carry the torch. <BR><BR><BR></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>WINE ON
