4/1/12: Singapore" in Clipper Round The World Race

[SingaporeConnect]

If you can, please welcome the "Singapore Yacht" on Sunday in Oakland--email them ASAP to get the time and directions. 

We have received the late notice (but good news) that "Singapore", one of ten international yachts competing in the Clipper 11-12 Round The World Yacht Race, is expected to arrive in Oakland early on April 1.  Among the various Singaporeans who are participating at different stages of the competition,  19-year old Sherlyn Chen will arrive with the yacht in Oakland.  "Singapore", sponsored by Keppel Corp is presently in second position on the leg to Oakland.  "J World", in partnership with Oakland's "Waterfront Hotel" and "Miss Pearl's" restaurant, is hosting a welcome party to greet the sailors aboard - no matter what hour they arrive into port and would like to invite all Singaporeans to join in the celebration.
 
Please help disseminate this information to your members who may be interested to support our "namesake" yacht and crew!  Please email RSVPs and queries to the host of the welcome committee, Mr Barry Demak, at bde...@gmail.com with a cc to us at the Singapore Consulate-General.  You can obtain more information on the race at the websites below.
