Don & Jane Solan once again contributed huge blocks of time, effort, and genius in the form of  Don's rampant artistry in producing booth props and marketing materials such as annotated pictures, a superb power point presentation, and an impressive SBYC burgee on a flag pole so people could see our colors across the convention center! If you missed seeing our "2005 edition" SBYC booth at the boat shows, check out the pictures!

NEW HALLOWEEN PARTY PICTURES UNEARTHED!
Hank Stuart and his lovely wife Mary, my guests at the Halloween Party from RYC, were kind enough to share his pictures of the Halloween Party and Racing Awards Banquet. Due to technical difficulties with the service Hank uses to "album" his photos, we weren't able to post them on the site, and I thought it might never happen. But good ol'Hank is never one to drop the ball, and a CD ROM recently found it's way into P.O. Box 1! SO, here they are! Feast your eyes, but put the kids to bed first, and be careful, it's scary stuff!
