The 2017 Midwest Women's Sailing Conference is officially full! We are taking names for the waiting list. If you'd like to attend but just haven't gotten your form and check in the mail, do it now. In past years, a couple attendees have had to cancel and we've been able to accommodate at least some of our wait list folks. (If we don't get you in, we'll return your check of course.)

Thanks to everyone who registered. We can't wait to see our returning participants and to meet our new friends in May!!
