Hey fellow sailors:
As a relatively "new guy" to town I have to admit that the enthusiasm of DYC members to assist Sailable NS host Mobility Cup '07 has been simply overwhelming. I
I say that because when I had the position of Volunteer Co-ordinator for Mobility Cup '97 in Calgary it was my job to get as many volunteers as I could find. I remember spending many hours going over a volunteer list from previous years and then calling these "potential volunteers" to do what they'd say they do. This was an extremely frustrating experience for me as there were times I'd make over 100 phone calls and only get 2 people who would actually help.
I can honestly say that the DYC members I have met so far are an outstanding goup of people and you exhibit the qualities that many can admire.
