Leukemia cup ScheduleRead Details
Hey BSC Sailors!
We're about 2 months out from the Leukemia Cup and I wanted to give you an update on some cool new stuff going on this year and update you on some of the cool same ol' same ol' stuff. I'm really excited about the ability for anybody to have their own fund raising page. Check out the BSC page at: http://www.leukemiacup.org/pages/al/bhm14/rmaypu. You'll see Emily Bridges, Laura Graham and I are already signed up. (toss me a few bucks while checking out the site - I'm at $0.00 right now!) Also, check out the incentives for raising money on one of these pages: http://www.leukemiacup.org/what/incentives/ Just let me know if you want a page and I'll get you fixed up. -

Commodore Sally Morriss,
Please accept the enclosed donation as a sincere "thank you" to your club for your help in rescuing Julia & I after capsizing our Raven last Saturday. Not only were your chase boats quick to pull us out of the cold water, but the entire race committee crew made sure we and the other capsized sailor were well taken care of.
When we left the club grounds to get some medical replacement for supplies lost overboard, we fully expect to return and join a righting crew to salvage the Raven. To our surprise, upon returning, we witnessed the Raven being towed to dock fully righted!
Your entire club's caring menbership and your well organized race committee make BSC a "must return" destination for us. I will highly recommend your regattas to other campaigning sailor and to my club, the Port Oliver Yacht Club.
Thanks again to BSC for your generous hospitality and professionalism!
