Hi fellow Keelboaters, 

Some of you have mentioned being interested in learning more about being part of a Race Committee.  There are a number of opportunities lining up in the next few months.  Here's one that takes place THIS SUNDAY, as part of the International Ice and Snow Sailing World Championships here in Madison. I'm planning to attend. Maybe I'll see you there?
