[WYC Announce] WYC 75th Anniversary Planning

[Vice Commodore]

Greetings Sailors,

As some of you may know, the club was founded in the spring of 1948 (see
attached document), which means that our 75th Anniversary is coming up next
spring.

We would like to celebrate this properly, and we have decided that it would
be best to start the conversation in this chat email list. Let this email
be the beginning of a long and lively conversation.

Some ideas that we have:
1. Renting out the Great Room and balcony at the WAC for Opening Day (May
7th) for a big club celebration.
2. Special WYC 75th Anniversary merchandise like shirts, etc.
3 Publish a complete archive site with digital copies of some of the cool
documents in our physical archive, as well as links to some of the old
websites (http://archive.washingtonyachtclub.org/Telltale/ and
http://archive.washingtonyachtclub.org/WYC/)
4. A special edition of Telltale with retellings of classic WYC stories
from throughout the years?

Our anniversary plans would be shared with the racing team, and it would be
great to include them and club alumni who likely do not follow our email
lists anymore in this conversation once things get started.

I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you out on the water,

William Rae
Vice Commodore
