DLSS President's Message

April 2009

Dear Members, 

With summer approaching fast, our board members and volunteers are working very hard towards another successful youth sailing program.  The entire sailing school would like to thank you, the members of the Delavan Lake Yacht Club, for your generous donations.  These donations have allowed us to renovate our classroom, refurbish and increase our OPTI fleet and purchase an additional safety boat. 

Our enrollment continues to grow which allows us to add learn to sail modules and a kinder pram program.  In addition, we are beginning advanced OPTI and X-boat classes.  The DLSS racing teams will be competing in eight to ten regattas this season. 

We would like to introduce our 2009 team of instructors:  Head Instructor – Katie Porter, Instructors - Robert Mahoney, Zack Maher, Mack Scheurell, Mark Ehlers and Alyse Compall.  Please visit our website at www.delavanlakesailingschool.com to see photos of all of the instructors as well as their sailing biographies.  The teams mission is to:  Develop a high interest in the sport of sailing by teaching proper sailing basics to create the foundation to a sport they can enjoy the rest of their lives. 

School begins on Monday June 15th, 2009.  Tom Coelman will be doing an OPTI clinic on June 22nd and 23rd 2009 for all of the students and instructors. 

We are asking for your continued support in our goal of raising $11,000.00 through donations to the Delavan Lake Sailing School, a 501c3 not-for-profit organization.  A donation card is available on our website.  Donations are 100% tax deductible and will allow us to increase and update or OPTI fleet. 

On behalf of The Delavan Lake Sailing School Board of Directors, we thank you for your past and continued support of your Sailing School.

Sincerely, 

Joe Scheurell
