The Youth Cruising program is new this year and in order to kick it off and get more kids enrolled we are providing a $50 discount to the first 10 sign-ups. Our Education team has put together a great curriculum including Charting, GPS, what to bring and some fun events to practice. Cruising is taught in the afternoons so if you are in ART you can still take Cruising.
Ask the Instructors about it or talk to Donna Scattergood, Ben Schallip or Isak Peterson. Don’t miss out on this opportunity, be one of the first to gain these skills!
Sign up now and save $50 http://www.eyc.org/lessons

The HOT new O’Pen BICs are coming to EYC to help kick off the fourth! The O’Pen BIC is a new junior dinghy with modern design that is super fun and exciting to sail. Optimum weight is up to 150 lbs. but two kids up to 200 lbs. also have a blast.
Kevin Gratton & Steve Eliasen from Wind Power are coming to town with O’Pen BIC’s available to sail.
These boats are available to race on Sat. afternoon July 4th at 1:30. Sunday morning July 5th at 9:30 is a demo day for anyone that wants to cruise around the bay. This is a great opportunity to try something new, improve your sailing skills, and check out the new wave of junior sailing. Very basic sailing skills are all that is necessary.
All are welcome so please forward this to anyone who might want to join the fun. Check out the boat and cool three minute video at http://www.windpowerwindsurfing.com/wp_open_bic.html

If you wish to donate to the EYC and are an IRA owner, age 70½ or over, you can directly transfer tax-free, up to $100,000 prior to December 31, 2007 to an eligible charitable organization. This provides an exclusion from gross income for otherwise taxable IRA distributions from a traditional or Roth IRA in the case of qualified charitable contributions. Eligible IRA owners can take advantage of this provision, regardless of whether they itemize their deductions. To qualify, the funds must be contributed directly by the IRA trustee to the eligible charity. Transferred amounts are counted in determining whether the owner has met the IRA’s required minimum distribution rules. Where individuals have made nondeductible contributions to their traditional IRAs, a special rule treats transferred amounts as coming first from taxable funds, instead of proportionately from taxable and nontaxable funds, as would be the case with regular distributions.
IRA owners are encouraged to consult with their tax advisors if they wish to make a donation from their IRAs. If you have any questions, you may contact Paul R. Pillat, Vice Commodore (770)231-2355.
