Leukemia Cup Regatta Update 4/4/08

If you have looked on the DCYC webpage or read the Hailer this month, you are certainly aware that the 2008 LCR is at hand. This regatta, which is co-sponsored with the Corinthian Sailing Club on White Rock Lake, has grown to be one of the sailing highlights for North Texas. It is wonderful to be able to share the workload, create 2 weekends of events for various classes of sailboats, have some great parties and raise a good amount of money for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. along with our sister club.

Right now is the time to mark your calendars with some of the events leading up to the regatta, such as the Clean Up Day on April 12th at DCYC. John Lusk is heading up this project. Come for an hour or all day and let’s get the club looking its very best.
Jill Ball, the auction committee chairman, is holding a Fish Fry on April 19th . Her son, Jeremy is donating the fish. The purpose of the dinner is to collect items to be donated for the silent or live auctions that will be held during the regatta weekend and for Jeremy to raise money for his fundraising goal. Come on out, bring a friend and a gift to donate and a check for $10 made out to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.

Some of the highlights for the DCYC LCR weekend include the Friday evening Grill Fest, manned by the multihull fleet, our famous “Mount Gay Rum Happy Hour” on Saturday at 5pm, followed by dinner provided by the Olive Garden. A spectacular live auction will be held after dinner. The evening will be topped off by the appearance and performance of “The Infidels.” Sunday lunch will be provided by Prairie House. Of course, all of our meals for the weekend will be coordinated by the fantastic Michele Ditmer.
