Next Race Scheduled: Comodore's Regatta Saturday, February 20th, 2010
J A N U A R Y 2 0 1 0 N E W S L E T T E R Wow, it's like deja vu! Another winter series race, and there is snow in the forecast AGAIN? Well, things are not looking good for Saturday's scheduled race, so...same bat channel, same bat time: If the "Real Feel" forecast for race time is 35 degrees or below, as predicted by the fine folks at AccuWeather.com as of noon on Friday, racing will be cancelled. As of right now, the prediction is showing 25 degrees "Real Feel". Bummer. Once again, we will endeavor to have the final call published on the website by 2:00 pm Friday, and I will try to notify the membership by email as well.The social for this weekend, the annual oyster roast, is scheduled to be hosted by Gary and Janice Peterson, and Mike and Kim Harrison. Since this is primarily an outdoor social, the general consensus of those involved is that if racing is cancelled, the social will be cancelled as well. We like our oysters fresh, not frozen. And we have one more Winter Series race scheduled for January 23rd, if somebody will just turn up the heat! A couple more reminders, while I'm at the computer. The Commodore's Ball is fast approaching, and is scheduled for February 20th, 2010. More details will be forthcoming, but please put the date on your calendar! This also means that nominations are due for Sportsman of the Year and Crewman of the Year. Since I don't think they have been published in a while, I will list the criteria to be considered for both awards here: NYRA Sportsman of the Year 1. Must be a NYRA member in good standing. 2. Must display good sportsmanship on and off the water 3. Should be humble in his/her achievements and offer praise to others. 4.

Please send nominations, with a narative explaining (in 50 words or less) why the nominee is worthy to: bod@nyra.org Another note, while we are talking about all the OTY's, the current BOTY standings are here on the Website, tho I have sent copies to most of the captains by email personally, and attached the current BOTY standings to this email to try bring everyone up to speed. Have also attached the Excel spreadsheet with the current membership list for guidance in SOTY and COTY award nominations. I AM READY FOR SPRING!!!!!! WILL IT HURRY UP AND GET HERE PLEASE!!! See ya on the water when it thaws out! Clare |
