<div><STRONG>WELCOME GUESTS<BR></STRONG>Remember, new guests and new sailors are always welcome to park in the upper east lot (or the shopping center) and use the club up to six times per season. We love new guests and we almost <STRONG>always</STRONG> have available parking in the upper lot. </div>
<div> <BR>...regarding our long-term guests. Careful examination of cars parked on the street last Thursday night showed only 3 cars with current membership stickers, some cars with no membership stickers, and a boatload of cars with previous year stickers. Nothing in this world is more lame than not paying crew dues, especially when it's obvious you've enjoyed the benefits of membership for at least several years. Next Thursday we're going to send parking attendants out to key all your car doors. <BR></div>
<div><BR><STRONG>JOIN WYC</STRONG><BR>On a related topic...you can pay your dues <STRONG>right now</STRONG> online at <A href="http://www.WYC.org">www.WYC.org</A> by simply looking for the link in the upper righthand corner of the homepage. If you're already in the records, a check in the ice-pay-box will also usually work. </div>

<div><STRONG>RACEWEEK</STRONG><BR>If you missed today's 'rapture' that's good because you'll be around for the Sailors Rapture next week on May 28th. This is when all good sailors will be taken up from the cities to Bayfield where we will race big sailboats in the first AIS racing of the season. Of course this is only preparation for the big event of Race Week over the fourth of July week. So ask around about a crew spot or about how to get your own boat up there for the week of the fourth. <A href="http://www.BayfieldRaceweek.org">www.BayfieldRaceweek.org</A> </div>
