ATTENTION, RACING SAILORS:
The 2004 Sailing Instructions are posted on the Club website, www.LGYC.COM. Click on Clubhouse, then click on Racing Rules. The racing schedule is also on the website.

To be thoroughly informed, as specified in the sailing instructions, skippers should check the official notice board in the front room of the clubhouse several times each week. Any changes in race schedule or sailing instructions are posted on the notice board. Also, each racing boat (except Optis and Lasers) should have a functional radio aboard to receive communications from the race committee. The race committee may announce on the radio information pertaining to premature starters, postponements, abandonments, changes in fleet starting rotation, weather alerts, etc.


REAR COMMODORE'S CORNER

The development of Club goals and objectives has made it possible to start Club committee activity with a definable purpose.

The Social Committee is dedicated to re-invigorating the Club with a sense of family and community and teams of committee members are planning parties and events that will shake things up and have fun. Nancy Blanchard chairs the social committee for the Yacht Club and Dawn Ripkey is handling the Sailing School events. Helping them are Julie Harrett, Kristen Freytag, Julie Navin, Rachel Gage, Mary Jane Schalk, Mary Wruk, Amy Doubek, Annie Huerth, Candace Burdick, Dianna Colman, Dana Porter, Annie Porter, Jane Larson, Gloria Melges, Lilly Barrett, Linda Morris, Michalene Melges, Suzanne Melges, Patti Davis, and Sara Lamphere. Please contact Nancy or Dawn if you have time to serve on the Social Committee.

The Site Plan Committee chaired by David Navin and including Bud Melges, Bill Gage, Tom Freytag, Ken Wruk, Art Larson, Mike Keefe, Jim Smith, and Scott Ripkey has assumed the responsibility of examining our facility as a whole to improve the site for the present membership, to attract new members, and provide a world class sailing facility for decades to come. This committee will be assisted by the Incorporation Committee, which will work to determine our ability to raise money, i.e. figure out what we can afford to do on the site.

Bill Barrett is leading the House and Grounds Committee, assisted by Ann Drury on gardening and beautification. They will lead us in our Spring Clean Up on May 22. Contact Bill or Ann to pitch in.

Scott Ripkey, Nancy Blanchard, Dawn Ripkey, and Mark Indyke make up the Food and Bar Committee. They'll be happy to consider all suggestions and determine if they fit the budget.

Julie Navin has volunteered her experience in the retail clothing business to chair the Clothing Committee. She will be looking for new styles of Club and technical wear to keep us all looking sharp.

I want to encourage each member to volunteer for a committee and help to build new energy for the coming season.
