Our ~ost estimates have assumed a lot of volunteer labor from the membership in those areas in which we can reasonably expect to save money by so doing, i.e., in the wood work and in the odd job upgrades like adding foa~ and support to the existing structures. Our J\YC tradition has included this type of activity whenever it has been feasible. Ne want to keep our club as inexpensive and as desirable as we can, not only for ourselves now but also for our membership in ten years. So ... when you receive a request to help out with the hoardboat docks and rigging docks, let's all pitch in and get those jobs done. If you can't drill a hole or drive a nail , you can carry wood. If you can't carry wood, you can serve refreshments. If you can't stay all day, come for a couple of hours. There wi ll he a job for all who can help. I feel that our traditional pitch-in and hel? attitude has contributed immensely toward our club pride and spirit. That in turn has helped attract ton notch sail ors and has f ostered an environr:ient in which •'le have all grown in our sailing skills. It has helped make us not just another yacht club but a great yacht club. How many clubs of any size can boast of having sent representatives to four USYRU national final events this year -- plus having an Olympic team competitor in their membership, not to mention having members who won a major class North American championship? I' 11 venture to say none. At this time I would like to congratulate Al Alyn and the team racing team who finished fourth, Linda ~lcDavitt and the Adams team, John Bartlett and the Mallory team, and Matt Romberg who Hon the O'Day char.rpionshin. And if anybody doesn't al ready know, Paul Foerster will be racing in Seoul under the AYC burgee, and Scott Young and \like Haggerty won the J-24 North Americans over the traditionally strong f ield in that class. Yes, AYC is a pretty special place. Good luck, good sailinq, and I'll see you at the work narties.
