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 />

Already a member for <strong>2010</strong><br />

Level Supporter at any time during the<br />

year with your tax deductible donation to<br />
