Commodore's Note on Labor Day & the Youth Awards
09/03/09 08:57am

The Labor Day party is fast approaching, and the summers sailing season is nearing its end. Now is the time to focus some attention on the youth of our club. We have a fabulous history of recognizing our youth programs and the many accomplishments of our kids. This year is no exception.  I would encourage those who attend the Labor Day party to stay for the award ceremony. This year the awards program should be exceptional, I know the parent volunteers have been planning lots of interesting and novel ways to ward the trophies and keep the adults entertained during the awards presentation. There is no better way to show your support for our youth programs than to be involved and present at the youth awards. I look forward to seeing you at the awards programs and out on the water for the last few races.

Sincerely,
Ray Haverstock
Commodore
