Friday Party
The
Pier Rears for Entertainment, Prater
and Nancy Monning ,
will sponsor a party the first Friday of each summer month through August. The
parties will be very casual with hors d'oeuvres, soft drinks, a specialty
drink of the night, and light entertainment. Cost will be $5 per person. Come
out and enjoy the beautiful evenings on White Rock with your favorite friends
from 6 9 PM. Those
of us who missed the First
First Friday party can redeem themselves by showing up at the Memorial Day Eve
party on May 26. Yet another opportunity arises on June 7. Come share the fun. May

Fleet News
- As anyone on the lake can see, we have a dedicated and active Laser fleet
sailing at least once per week. We can be found sailing at any time of the
year from January when it is blowing 25 or in July when there is minimal wind
to be found. We are always looking to add to faces and meet new people. There
is no pre-requisite to sail with us, just hop in a Laser and have fun. We have
sailors of all ages and all skill levels helping to further develop what is
one of the most competitive fleets in the state. On
May 18 and 19, most of us will be competing in the Spring Dinghyfest at Rush
Creek YC. The following weekend we will be at the Lynn Creek Regatta on Joe
Pool Lake. This kicks off a series of regattas that are coming up in the
spring and summer months. For more information, I can be reached on my Laser,
or send me an e-mail at twolasers@aol.com.

New on the CSC Website Special
Olympics information is in the Race Notices page. Additional info on the
Womens Racing Program and the new schedule for the Juniors sailing camps
with the registration forms was added. A page listing Snipes available for
sale or lease was added. Other fleets can add similar information if they will
send it to the webmaster.
The
CSC Membership Roster has been updated with the information received during
the renewal process. The password has been changed to the work boat
combination on the back of your 2002 membership card. To print the roster, put
in a large "Page Size" (e.g. 500) and the entire roster will be
displayed. This allows you to print the entire roster. Details
on the juniors sailing education program, adult sailing classes, Wednesday
night fun races, the new first Friday parties at the dock, and the Special
Olympics regatta can still be found on the website. The
new 2002 - 2003 Sunday Race Sailing Instructions and the Race Calendar also
