One of the things that I initiated as commodore of another nearby YC was
to give out medals at the end of the year to all those who were under
the age of 18 who participated in a race during the season.  (Joe Beckey
knows about this too)

 

We can buy them in bulk for about $3.00 apiece and give them to parents
at the banquet  (kids wouldn't be at the banquet generally). Or we can
give them the medals at one our no-boat regattas later where kids often
come.    I'm thinking we wouldn't need more than 10 this year.   Mattie,
Nate, Jack...I'm sure there are others.

 

We gave a medal to Mike Misk's daughter about 5 years ago when Mike
bought his boat and started sailing with the kids and now she's an up
and coming H.S. champion.   I can't say that its the medal that did it,
but it certainly didn't hurt.

 

This way the kids,  the future of the fleet really, get something even
if they're not at the banquet. 

 

If the fleet is willing to do this...I can get the medals.
