[Image preview] Dear Pettipaug members, In our ongoing effort to support cancer patients and their families, the Essex Corinthian, Essex, Frostbite, Duck Island, and Pettipaug Yacht Clubs are teaming up with Sails Up 4 Cancer this year. This annual one-design event will not only be an exciting river regatta, but also raise funds for cancer research, new treatments and patient support. Sails Up 4 Cancer (www.SU4C.org<http://www.SU4C.org>) has close ties to our area, and we are pleased to announce this collaboration. The regatta will be held on the Lower Connecticut River in front of the Essex and Essex Corinthian Yacht Clubs on April 30th 2022. SAVE THE DATE!! We can perfectly launch our boats from the Pettipaug yard and sail downstream to the race course. Please find attached document for more information. Furthermore, I would like to make another call for a Pettipaug representative to join the Organizing Committee of this regatta. If you would like to work together with representatives of the other Essex yacht clubs to make this event a great success, please send me a direct message via commodore@pettipaug.org<mailto:commodore@pettipaug.org> . Best regards, Mischa van Berkel Commodore
