Editorial Dreams Do Come True ,• It wasn't so long ago that President Kennedy asked the nation to stop asking what their country could do for them, but rather what they could do for their country. Now, it is appropriate to ask members of the Outrigger Canoe Club the same thing. When was the last time you really gave something of yourself to this Club? We don't mean when was the last time you came to dinner here, or the last time you bought something from the Beach Shop, although we encourage all of you to support the Club in this manner. What we want is your involvement in the activities at Outrigger, as a participant or spectator. We need both. This month, you have the opportunity to participate in a project that is extremely important to many of us-the Outrigger Foundation Auction. The Outrigger Foundation, as you are probably aware, was established to help deserving athletes within the Club and throughout the community attain their goals. There are no strings attached. They don't have to be a certain age, race, or a member of Outrigger to get assistance. Much of the support for young athletes in Hawaii today comes from labor unions or from corporations who support the athletic endeavors of their employees and their families. But there are many who have no angels waiting to help them. Our goal is to help these athletes who have trained long and hard and deserve their day in the sun to triumph or not based on their skills and not their pocketbooks. And this is why we need you and your help. The Outrigger Foundation Auction, scheduled for Monday, July 29, will benefit our most deserving athletes. How can you help? First of all, you can buy a ticket for the auction and attend. Tickets are reasonably priced at $25 of which $12.50 is tax deductible. The auction is open to the public, so make a night of it and invite your friends. We can hold 325 people in our Dining Room and we'd love to see every seat filled. Secondly, you can donate something for the auction. We've already had some terrific prizes donated but we still need a lot more. Check at home for some wonderful object that is collecting dust but is still a treasure. What can your company offer? A trip, room, services, tickets? We can use them all. We aren't appealing only to our adult members. Even our Junior 'Riggers can help. Get a group of friends together or your paddling crew and offer a number of hours of yard service, window washing, car waxing, babysitting, etc. The items don't need to be big and expensive. More than that, we want your participation. We want to know that you care and share our dreams, and the dreams of our young athletes of today and those yet to come. What's in it for you? Well, for a start, you're going to be spending the evening in one of the loveliest environments in Hawaii, with some pretty nice people. The food at the Club is always delicious and we'll be serving heavy pupus. Your ticket also includes two drinks and $5 of script for the auction which you can use to start your bidding. The Foundation Committee promises that the auction will be exciting and that you11 get a terrific deal no matter what you buy. Any donation that you make is tax deductible, as well as half of the cost of your ticket. And finally, there is the satisfaction that comes with knowing that you can truly do three things at once-have an enjoyable evening, get a terrific bargain, and touch the life of someone whose dream is still only a dream. Won't you help us make it come true?
