And what a year it has been. We provided sailing to 235 club members this Fall Quarter and have also introduced 438 newcomers to the UW to Union Bay during our Dawg Daze Open House. We found out the Dock Renovations project has been delayed 1?3 years, and are eager for more seasons of sailing on the Bay, Lake Washington, and the Sound. For our fairweathered sailors, the warm season may be over, but at the WYC we?ve pulled out the wetsuits and foulies and are anticipating an exciting Winter season. This Christmas, the Washington Yacht Club leadership is on a mission to bring the joy of sailing to low-income students at Udub! Our plan for need-based club dues exemption will only be possible with your support, and your generosity will make a real difference in lowering students? barrier of entry to the sailing scene. Here?s how your monetary contribution can help our Club: - $30 can provide the resources for a free dingy lesson for one passionate student. - $60 opens the door to a whole academic quarter?s worth of participation. - $100 can support the yearlong maintenance of one boat, ensuring every student gets a safe ride. (Let us know if you want to choose which boat to adopt!) - You may also contribute any dollar amount to our New Boat Fund, Instructors Gratitude Fund, Social Events Fund etc. to take care of the clubs? many goals for 2025! No contribution is too small, and every gift helps us get closer to our goal of lowering club fees for 20 students. You can make your tax-deductible donation by: 1. Visiting our Square Store: https://washington-yacht-club.square.site/ 2. Sending a check to: Washington Yacht Club Box 352238, SAO 235 Seattle, WA 98195-2238 This Christmas, let us come together to introduce more students to the world of sailing. Your support means the world to us and is positively impactful to the students whose lives you?ll touch. It also takes a lot more than just money to run the WYC and we are always looking for more people to help out. If you are at all interested in teaching a class/clinic, running a regatta, helping with repair/maintenance, or raising money for the club, please either fill out this form , send an email to contact@washingtonyachtclub.org, or just stop by the docks and say hi. Thank you for considering our cause and for being a part of this special season of giving. We wish you and your loved ones a joyful and blessed Christmas! Warm wishes, *Harry H.C Huang* Fundraising Chair Washington Yacht Club, the student sailing club at UW fundraising@washingtonyachtclub.org *Layla Airola and Renee Chien* Co-Commodores of the WYC Washington Yacht Club, the student sailing club at UW commodore@washigntonyachtclub.org ^Club member Michael Stickels orchestrated an outing of Bravos to Duck Dodge this Summer for the "Christmas in July" themed day of racing. ^One of our busy early Fall Friday Night Social Sails. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
