Please see post below from Wanda Casaretto, USNT Practice Coordinator. We really need the support from all our Opti families so we can host this event and fill in all the volunteering positions. It is a honor for our club to host a national event like this and would like to keep being consider as a host club by USODA in future years.
Thanks in advance for your support...looking forward to a great event!

Hello Opti Families!
LYC has been granted the honor of Host Club for the upcoming USNT Practice. As the host club, we are required to secure housing for the optimist national team who will be holding practice at our club on March 14-16th with sailors expected to arrive on March 13th between 3-6pm. We anticipate approximately 20 sailors.
It is my understanding that host families are only providing a place to sleep. The USNT has given us a stipend to provide all meals at the club. The attached notice of practice has more details- kids are really only expecting a couch to crash on! These are not only great sailors but well behaved kids who are extremely independent and great role models for all opti sailors. It appears they'd prefer to keep groups of 3 sailors to a host family- not sure if this is feasible for all- so maybe a minimum of 2 or more. If you're unable to house anybody- we will be in need of parents who can help with transportation needs especially airport pick ups/drop offs. Also if you are interested in holding the farewell dinner at your home (expenses will be covered by the stipend) let me know.
We desperately need every family's participation in some capacity to make this a success. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Please email me or call with what you can do to help out. THANKS!!!!
Sincerely,
Wanda Casaretto
