PSU sailing: practice wednesday and this coming weekend

Hey PSU Sailing,

I'm sorry to say this, but I've fallen victim to the forces of procrastination and dropped the ball on the vehicle requests for this weekend. However, we can still go to north/north this weekend because UW has agreed to charter two FJs for us. Julia is willing to drive her car which can seat 4 people, so we need another driver or two to get up to a total of eight seats. It's too late to get the mileage reimbursed by the school, but we will all chip in for gas for whoever drives their car.

I really am sorry for not turning in the travel forms in on time, but in my defence I've been waiting to turn in these forms because our team is having issues with people wanting to back out or sign up for regattas at the last minute. Campus rec requires a minimum of two weeks advance notice to approve travel plans and rent vehicles. Adding or subtracting people and rental cars after the paperwork has been submitted is a big hassle, especially for the campus rec staff, and it usually costs us a lot of extra money.

This wednesday practice is going to be mandatory for all members of the team so we can have a team meeting and discuss ways to be more organized about our travel plans. The main issue is committing to regattas ahead of time. I understand we're all busy with school, work, and other things, but it would be beneficial to everyone if we could plan out who goes to what regatta at the begininning of each term. Feel free to bring up any suggestions you have for travel plans at the meeting, I'd like everyone's input before we make any deciscions.

Thanks for being patient, I hope you're all enjoying your new classes. See you on the water,

-Adam
