Tentative Regatta Schedule
 

 
We rely on many volunteers to ensure that our special events are successful.  For a number of years now we (meaning I) have come to rely on the same people to help with regattas, dinners and galas. It easier to ask someone who has already done the job.  And of course, because everyone loves to help out the club, people rarely decline the request.  However, it is really time to hand over these jobs to new volunteers. So I ask you to consider how you can best help out. Sailing experience is not required for many of the volunteering roles. 

This summer will be lighter because we will just have the non-Gala Gala and Civic.  However, next year we will again be hosting the Mid-Ontario regatta which requires many volunteers.  I would like to line up people for Mids this year so we are in a good position for 2020.  Here is a list of the roles/jobs that we need help with.

Non-Gala Gala

• Site setup – decorations, tables, garbage (2 people)
• Bar – purchase beer, wine and pop; get ice; tend bar (2 people)
• Food – bring an appetizer (15-20 people)
• Music – rent sound system; get a playlist (1 person)
• Silent Auction – (2 people, plus lots of donations needed)

Civic Regatta

• Registration of the sailors - (Sat) (2 people)
• Make lunches for sailors - (Sat) (2 people)
• Ice cream station at Prizegiving - (Sun) (2 people)

Mid-Ontario Regatta

• Billeting – (1 person to organize, many people to host)
• Saturday & Sunday breakfast – (2-3 people)
• Saturday lunch – (2-3 people)
• Saturday dinner – (2-3 people, plus salad and dessert makers)
• Sunday lunch – (2-3 people)

As you can see, lots of people are needed. Please consider where you can help and contact me (commodore@slsc.ca) if you would like more information on these roles or would like to volunteer. If each family could help out in one job in one event, we would be all set.

We know that there are people out there not on our email mailing list for various reasons.  If you know of someone who might have received a hardcopy mailing in the past, would you please print this and share it with them?! or refer people to our email mailing list sign up page (see link below).
