Support Level Stickers to acknowledge <strong>2010</strong> donors<br />
The <strong>Inland</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Yachting</strong><br />
<strong>Association</strong> Board of Directors<br />
announces a new program to recognize<br />
member support. ILYA members<br />
regularly support our many services<br />
through the payment of annual dues.<br />
Additional support from members with<br />
donations above and beyond the dues<br />
will now be acknowledged with a<br />
three-tiered recognition system.<br />
• Silver Level Support Recognition<br />
will be awarded to members who<br />
donate $100 or more in addition to<br />
their dues.<br />
• Gold Level Support Recognition<br />
will be awarded to members who<br />
donate $500 or more in addition to<br />
their dues.<br />
• Platinum Level Support<br />
Recognition will be awarded to<br />
members who donate $1,000 or<br />
more in addition to their dues.<br />
The recognition applies each<br />
calendar year. Members who participate<br />
in this program will receive an ILYA<br />
sticker with the designated recognition<br />
category suitable for display on their boat<br />
or car. Supporters will also be recognized<br />
annually via Scow Slants.<br />
Members may participate by<br />
specifying their donation to go to any<br />
one or combination of three available<br />
funds—General Fund, Promotion Fund,<br />
and Foundation Fund.<br />
General Funds<br />
General Funds contributions may<br />
be used for general ILYA operating<br />
expenditures, including:<br />
• Winter <strong>Inland</strong> expenses and<br />
speakers as needed.<br />
• Scow Slants costs in excess of<br />
advertising revenue.<br />
• Online registration and<br />
membership renewal update costs.<br />
• Equipment purchases, general<br />
repairs, and meeting expenses.<br />
• Race Committee and clinic<br />
expenses.<br />
• Replenishing the operating<br />
contingency fund balance.<br />
Promotion Funds<br />
Promotion Account funds are<br />
used to finance:<br />
• First-time ILYA adult<br />
participant program. This<br />
program allows sailors who<br />
have never sailed in an adult<br />
ILYA event to have their entry fee<br />
waived.<br />
• Youth discount program. This<br />
program allows sailors under<br />
the age of 26 to enter ILYA<br />
adult championship regattas<br />
at a 50% discount. This year<br />
the program is expanded to include<br />
ILYA adult invitationals.<br />
• Sailgroove’s activities at our<br />
Annual Championship regatta<br />
including video clips and live<br />
interviews. Sailgroove will also<br />
be available for your club’s use<br />
Offered for the first time at the Winter <strong>Inland</strong>!<br />
ILYA Tervis Tumblers<br />
The 16 oz. Tervis Tumbler comes with a lifetime<br />
guarantee and keeps your cold drinks cold and<br />
your hot drinks hot (how does it know). They<br />
reduce condensation and are dishwasher safe.<br />
Best of all, they have the elegant ILYA logo<br />
embedded between the double wall insulation.<br />
Available for only $25 per pair, plus shipping.<br />
to highlight the best from our<br />
member clubs.<br />
• Costs of sending representatives<br />
to the US Sailing Junior Sailing<br />
Symposium.<br />
• Other Promotional costs approved<br />
by the Board of Directors.<br />
Foundation Funds<br />
Foundation General Fund<br />
contributions:<br />
The ILYA foundation has been<br />
rechartered to accept general funds<br />
in support of <strong>Inland</strong> sailors who are<br />
accepting the challenge to venture<br />
out to non-scow National and<br />
International events. For example,<br />
a high school sailor who qualifies<br />
at the regional level to attend the<br />
nationals may petition for some level<br />
of matching funds to assist with the<br />
expense. Foundation trustees will<br />
evaluate all requests for financial<br />
assistance and provide support as<br />
feasible to qualified competitors,<br />
with youthful sailors given special<br />
preference.<br />
How can I participate<br />
Just mark your membership<br />
application or renewal form (either online<br />
or paper form) with your donation<br />
amounts and fund choices. Then display<br />
the sticker proudly and show your<br />
support for the ILYA.<br />
