Easter Seals regatta

[Alcan]

On Saturday our club hosted our 3rd annual Easter Seals regatta, with all the proceeds going to assist disabled children. We had over 100 kids attend, with clowns, face painters, colouring stations. We also took them for power boat rides around the harbour. Hamilton Fire Service sent 2 trucks down and the firefighters loaded the kids on and off the boats. All had a great time. (sorry, can't post pix of the kids).

During the afternoon we held a pursuit sailboat race. Eventually, the awards. At a pre-regatta sponsors' reception last month the hat got passed around. If $1K was raised, I'd have to wear the getup below while handing out the race prizes. It was and I did, proving once again that I can always ??rise?? to new levels of looking stupid. That's OK though, at the end of the day we raised over $25K for wheelchairs, braces, special equipment, etc, for kids with disabilities.
