Two great days aboard the "Tranquilizer"  As part of a continued support of the Freedom Waters Foundation, our Commodore, Dick Daytz and his wife Lynn, took 12 teens struggling with cancer out for a sail aboard "Tranquilizer" on August 23rd. The following day a family of 6 with a child undergoing chemotherapy went aboard for a day of sailing. Fund Raiser for Vet Dogs This in from Tom:  We just got back from Orlando participating in a fund raiser for VET DOGS, which is a division of the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind. ..Cardinal Health Plan held a corporate offsite in Orlando for 2500 employees and vendors and we were the designated beneficiary for the event...We raised $70,000 in contributions from the employees and vendors and Cardinal matched it Dollar for Dollar...So we raised $140,000 and that comes out to about 5 guide dogs and their complete training cycle. We had one working Vet Dog Mickey along with his owner, Sean Long, a wounded Vet from the Army out of Irag, We also had four "puppies" from the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind including our own "club member" Vacca. The other three puppies currently live in the Dallas area with their puppy walkers, but the walkers and the puppies flew in for this event.  |
