attend. Those who did attend, please let me know what needs to be added or amended.:

WELCOME JOHN GRAVES!

Mark Kochendorfer has added to the Sonar section of the WYC.org site. Check it out.

Team Racing in Sheboygan in August. See Bert's e-mail or the link on the web site for info. Numerous people are interested. Payment secures a spot. Extra people beyond nine people might fill in on Winnipeg team if they don't fill.

See WYC.org about "Morning Light" event.

Lonar - 3rd Big Island 6/20. No normal Sonar Big Island race that day. 4th Big Island 6/27 is a backup if 6/20 gets canceled.

Star of the North Regatta 9/18,19,20 Capris and Sonars, S2s unlikely due to out of town S2 event.

2011 Sonar NAs at Wayzata approved. September, dates pending.

Area K Sears Cup qualifier (youth championship), Howard Noreen is helping coordinate and will be asking to borrow Sonars (they carry insurance)

Chris Fittapaldi is bowing out as Fleet Captain. Mark Kochendorfer agreed to step-up so he is now Fleet Captain. Marty Fossen "ascends" to treasurer. Sara Olmstead agreed to
become Secretary.

As my last secretary task, in the coming week I'll put together the schedule for who gets which Sunday for the post-race Sonar Snack.

Mark has collected dues from some. $20/boat. As your new treasurer, I'll be pursuing those yet to pay.

Mark offered a treasurer's report. There's a balance, plus pins for sale, a couple shirts?, and Bert has WYC burgee tattoos that could be sold to raise a few bucks. CURRENT BALANCE $663 $470 SPENT ON FOOD LAST YEAR FOR B-SERIES PARTY. PINS AVAILABLE AT $5. TALK TO CHUCK ABOUT HATS THAT MIGHT GET ORDERED.

As of Sunday, I believe there were more Sonars in the water than boats of any other fleet. Let's play.

CARMELLA SAID MERIDETH HOISINGTON WHO TEACHES BLIND CHILDREN WILL BE SEEKING VOLUNTEERS FOR BOAT RIDES FOR HER STUDENTS.

ERNIE PROPOSED "KIDS AT THE HELM" RACE. DETAIL PENDING.

FLEET AGREES TO CONTINUE TO WETSAIL, EXCEPTIONS MADE WHEN CIRCUMSTANCES MERIT.
