Dear Fleet, <BR>
<BR>
It is time to ask not what TISC and your fleet can do for you, but what you can do for TISC and your fleet. Volunteer opportunities include:<BR>
<BR>
1. Volunteering at Opening Day on the Bay this Saturday, April 24th. <BR>
<BR>
2. Volunteering at the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon in support of TISC on May 1 or May 2. (Information below). <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
If you did not have the pleasure of installing the docks at TISC, which included hosing off a serious amount of bird dung, <STRONG>I strongly recommend you devote some time to one of the events above.</STRONG> TISC is a volunteer-supported organization and the faciltity doesn't operate by magic. If you simply are too busy, a handsome donation may also do. <BR>
<BR>
In addition to your TISC obligations, please do consider your fleet obligations and make sure you have paid Fleet Dues, Svendens Thursday Night Dues and completed any waiver forms necessary to compete. <BR>
<BR>
Finally, this evening I am making good on my threat to assign social chair duties. The link to remaining dates is here: <A href="http://docs.google.com/View?id=dmr2x7b_70dxmbcpft">http://docs.google.com/View?id=dmr2x7b_70dxmbcpft</A><BR>
<BR>
Anyone who has not emailed Amy or me by the close of business on Friday shall have a date assigned. Further it shall be your responsiblity to cover for that date if you cannot make it. I suspect that many of you have no idea the amount of time that Amy and Alex devote to ensuring that the Svendsens 'Thursday Night Series runs smoothly. I know I didn't until I became Fleet Captain. Honestly, it's like a part-time job for them. So let's help them out and satisfy our obligations without being hounded. <BR>
<BR>
Now that we've gotten the scolding out of the way, let's have some fun. SIGN UP FOR SKI/SAIL (4/24-25) AND BAY CHAMPS (5/15). Both bound to be epic events in their own right. We're incorporating an actual bay leg in Bay Champs regatta. Don't miss it. While you are at it, sign up for the rest of the summer now. Drag out the trailer and get ready to bring the boat up to Huntington and Tomales Bay for two crazy camping regattas. <BR>
<BR>
See you on the water. <BR>
<BR>
Natasha <BR>
