Close MS Regatta

Since 1980 Windycrest has been joining in on the
fight against MS. Over the years the Club, its members,
and their associates have contributed over a million
dollars to fight this disease. Please help us in continuing
the fight by helping out however you can.

We can say that all the money (100%) contributed
goes directly to the MS Society of Oklahoma.

MS REGATTA A 65K SUCCESS
   The 32nd MS/Close Regatta is in the books for another year. Mark Lobo was the Regatta Chairman and he did
   an awesome job. Through the generosity of Windycrest members and many outside sponsors we raised over
   $65,000 to fight MS.

   Over 40 boats sailed on a perfect day, sunny with winds in the 10 to 5mph range. Chris Gill was the winner of
   the MS Cup, the first boat to finish in his Sunfish. Congratulations to Chris and all the other class winners.

   Many thanks go out to our many big pocket sponsors, both inside and outside of the Club. We could not of done
   it without you and them. But none of it would have happened without the generous support of the following
   Windycrest members: Ray Adams, Judy Andrews, Jo Ann Chandler, Skeeter Chilton, Rex & Allene Donley,
   Richard Ferguson, Betty Hobson, Ruth & Steve Horn, Mike & Tracy Lang, Mark & Nancy Lobo, Pam Low,
   Nancy McDonald, Terry & Elaine Rainey, Barbara Montelbano, Mary & Steve Snider, Jim & Sherry Stinson,
   and Sandye Taylor. Thanks to the MS Oklahoma Chapter from help on their end, including Paula Cortner,
   Rachel Klenda, and Brandi Davidson.

   Richard Ferguson took 444 photos of the regatta. There are a lot of really great ones. I do not know how long
   he will leave them up on his Picasa account, but check them out soon and copy the ones you want to save
   while you can. Here they are.

The Launch Party
Thursday, August 18, 2011
6:00pm to 10:00pm
At the Greater Tulsa Homebuilders Association Building
11545 E. 43rd Street, Tulsa

The Launch Party on August 18th was a great success. We had a
super crowd that bid on lots of nice items. Everyone had a nice time making money for the fight against MS, which it what the Launch Party is all about. There were a ton of people that made it all go, but most of all it was the work of Chairman Mark Lobo organizing the whole shebang that gets the most thanks.
Mark will let all his thanks fly at the regatta on September 10th.
