SUMMER
2000
The
CCYC Junior Fleet Board has spent the winter gathering information, working
on budgets, researching boats, and interviewing instructors.With
the information, the junior board has developed a new schedule that will
improve the skills of all our junior sailors no matter what their skill
level.We kept our popular Thursday
night lessons, improved the Tuesday night racing, and added full day camps
for the beginners, intermediate and advanced sailors.
We
are still looking for one or two more instructors.If
you know of anyone with several years of sailing knowledge and skills and
who is great with kids, please call Mary Kovats for an application.
So
that we can determine the number of instructors we will need this summer,
we are offering a 5% discount for any registration for day camp that we
receive by April 15, 2000.Be sure
to sign up early to reserve a place in camp and to take advantage of the
5% discount.
Many
changes have been made, so read this flyer carefully.If
you have any questions or comments, please call one of the board members
listed below.
