Hi SMBSF!
My skipper Mimi Paz and I would like to thank you for supporting our trip to Lake Minnetonka, MN so that we could participate in the legendary Ida Lewis clinic and regatta. Upon arrival, we knew that it was a very special event. We were very fortunate to have access to brand new equipment, professional coaches, and to be among a great group of girls all serious about the sport of sailing. The two days of clinic taught us so much about lake sailing and tuning, and the three race days were the most fun and rewarding we could remember. The fantastic environment allowed us to maintain our focus throughout all five days, and we moved up consistently through the regatta, even winning a race on the second day and ending up in 6th place overall. This event was
an extremely gratifying event for our team and the others whose journeys SMBSF supported.
Without your generous grant, this once in a lifetime experience would not have been possible. Thank you so much for your outstanding support.
Sincerely,
Mimi Paz and Sydney Avitia-Jacques
