Country Club program seeks funds to increase fleet
of teaching prams
Janice
Wiles, her son Luke Wiles and Skaneateles Country Club Commodore John Henry
discussed the Club’s sailing school July 9.
Wiles,
of Maryland is in her twenty-second year teaching teaching sailing at the
Club.
The
young sailors are taught boat handling skills, boating safety, knots, rigging
and basic rescue. The Certified
instructors hold apple races, pirate days, and play sailing capture the flag to
keep the teaching environment fun.
As the young sailors advance, they can become a part of the Club’s
sailing team and learn to develop tactical race and boat handlign skills.
The
program started in 1961 and has been teaching Skaneateles youths age 6 to 18 to
sail ever since. John Henry shared
pictures and other historical memorabilia from the school. He shared the club’s register from the
first school. Many of those who
were in the first class remain active and well-known members of the community.
Over
the past few years, enrollment in the program has increased significantly. This year, the school has 115 children
signed up to teach kids to learn to race in four different classes based on
ability.
To accommodate the increased enrollment, the Sailing
School is raising money to purchase two new sailboats for its beginner and
intermediate sailors. The drive
seeks to raise $3,000.00 to purchase
used optimist prams.
Sunrise helps Books for the World pack pallets for
South Africa
President
John Rooney stands with the pallet of books our club sponsored for Books for
the World Saturday, July 18, 2009 at Bossong’s
Commercial Delivery Facility.
The books have been rejected by the consignee due to various minor
damage.
About 15
volunteers from our club, the Evening Club, Tully, DeWitt and Eastwood sorted
the books at the facility at 6713 Picard Drive off East Molloy Road and near
the Marine Training center south of the airport.
The
books collected for this pallet were gathered, in part at the Skaneateles
Library’s annual book sale. The
pallet and the cartons used for the project were made possible by our club’s
sponsorship approved at the July Club Assembly.
