Hello Sailors,

 

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Classic Regatta this past Saturday. Thanks to those that sailed and more importantly to those that donated and everyone’s fund raising efforts. Thanks especially go to Rich Treinen and Gloria Davis for efforts this past year organising this event and working with Susan McIntyre from Neighborly Senior Care Network.

 

Another plus for the event this year was the filming by Spectrum Bay News 9 of a spotlight reel highlighting the event. Thanks to Rich Treinen and Suzanne Hooper for their starring roles and to Charles Archer for use of his boat Sprite for the filming location. The spotlight aired all evening on Friday and was a poignant and heartfelt telling of why we do what we do to help others. Thanks Rich.

 

Coming up next: This Saturday Oct. 28 are our Series Races 3 & 4 followed by our Oktoberfest Cookout post race Celebration. The club will provide Brats, buns, sauerkraut and condiments. Bring your own drinks and if you would like, bring a (German Style) side dish to share. We plan to have a 50/50 raffle too. If you are a new member to SPSA our social gatherings are great opportunities to meet other members and join the fun of a great sailing community. We will gather at the St. Pete Marina Pavillion at the South Dock – just east of the Sailing Center. Please RSVP to secretary@spsa.us. This event is free to SPSA members, $5 for guests.`

See you all out on the Bay.
