Now for 2012----- We are getting set to do this again. Everyone start thinking Kids—Kids---Kids!!
This will again be the event of the year, for those who want to do something connected with Sailing and which will make a positive impression on a bunch of kids who are having a hard time getting enough of the right impressions right now. The Ranches of New Mexico have provided this greatly needed guidance in the past, and will continue to do so, and provides all this positive growth in these kids. We are just a little something extra set aside for them one day a year.
