My plan is to try to do at least three events. Let me know if you are trying to work any or all of these into your 2012 plans. write me, Bob Astrove at astrove@hotmail.com

Also, the Lightning Class Association is working hard to identify the current owners and locations of all
the old boats.   Please contact the class office with your name, boat number and contact information.  Even
if you are not interested in membership in the class we still want to update the registry of boats.  You
can contact the class office at 727-942-7969, or at office@lightningclass.org
