Fwd: DJOD Details

Parents, one more correction, Jeff is going out on his sailboat on Sunday, not tomorrow.  If you are interested in going out on the water tomorrow there may be space available on race committee boats, but they will probably put you to work.

PITCH Regatta

This weekend is the big PITCH regatta the BYC hosts on the bay.  The BYC would like our team to sell raffle tickets tonight and tomorrow night at registration and dinner.  Let's help them out and raise money for the race team.  Please come tonight at 5pm and tomorrow at 6pm to the BYC and help sell raffle tickets.  The more we can get sold the more we can make for the team.

Also, if any of you would like to race this weekend there are boats looking for crew.  Let me know.

See you tonight.
