• Dilys from the Friends of the San Juan Island Library says they could use a hand with the Book Sale this weekend:
If you would like to help with setting up on Friday or clearing up on Saturday we’d be grateful. Sign up sheets for various tasks are now ready at the Library.
• It’s next week, but you need to sign up now – here’s more from Dianne:
40th Annual Shaw Island Classic Race
Sponsored by the San Juan Island Yacht Club, the 40th Annual Shaw Island Classic Sailboat Race will be held Saturday, August 7, 2010, and all eligible boats and crews are invited to participate. The race starts from Friday Harbor and permits circumnavigating scenic Shaw Island in either direction, and back to Friday Harbor for a hearty lasagna dinner and awards presentation.
The race is open to multihulls, unballasted centerboards, registered PHRF boats and cruising sailboats of all sizes and rigs. Classes will be provided for multihulls, centerboards, PHRF and cruising classes. Trophies will be awarded for the first three finishers in each class based on corrected time, adjusted for time-on-time based on PHRF or committee-assigned ratings.
Entry forms may be downloaded from the club website at www.sjiyc.com, or obtained by contacting the SJIYC Race Committee at P.O. Box 67, Friday Harbor, WA 98250, or call 360.378.3434.
