Default Heart warming seasonal e-mail;

Just came in this evening. Our regional cruise for the developmentally
disadvantaged is really getting a lot of community support. This is one
of the highlights of the entire season, AFAIAC,
and somthing similar would be worthy of consideration in communities
without a similar program and where weather permits:


*********

To: Participants in Special People's Christmas Cruise

Flash - Here's the latest news:

We have been notified by SEAFAIR that QCYC will have the Mercer Island
High School Choir under the direction of Mr. Tom Cox singiing for our
Special People's Cruise. Tom Youngs is contacting Mr. Cox to determine
how many are in the choir and how we may best accommodate them at the
clubhouse.

We are also having the SEAFAIR clowns (12 to 14 clowns) join us to
provide entertainment for the Special People waiting in front of the
clubhouse and on the boats.

A few representatives from Union 76 (the sponsor of the Holiday Cruise)
want to come out and see the event first hand and how it effects the
community. They will be visiting SYC and QCYC sometime during the
event, accompanied by SEAFAIR Sponsorship Director Joan Ogle.

Finally, QCYC is offering 31 of our yachts to host 223 Special People
and Chaperones who will arrive in our parking lot in 5 busses Sunday
afternoon.

The QCYC Special People's Cruise has really taken on legs.

Congratulations to all participants.

*************

The closer the event gets, the more jazzed I get about participating.
It can be hard to really decide who has the most fun at this thing, the
boaters or our special guests. :-)

I'm sure it's going to be a blast.

Did you correct the sender re using the term 'Christmas' in the cruise
title? I'm wondering if you're going to respond to them with a thousand
words on the 'real' meaning of Christmas a la Chuck Gould.

I just couldn't resist, Chuck.

If I had to try to define the real meaning of "Christmas", it would be
pretty tough to come up with a better example than an event like this.

That's great! To me, Christmas is a time of sharing and togetherness.
Sounds like you're doing both. Wish I could have my boat up there!
