Dear Mr. Rohloff
The Oshkosh Yacht Club will be hosting three regattas in Oshkosh in 2009. The first is
our fourth annual Xtreme "X" Boat Invite Regatta for youth sailors up to age 16 on
Monday, July 13 and Tuesday, July 14, 2004. Last year's Xtreme Regatta drew 60
participants and their families from all over Wisconsin.
The second regatta the Oshkosh Yacht Club is hosting in the City is the 2009 "A" Class
National Regatta from Thursday, June 25, 2009 through Sunday, June 28, 2009. There
will be approximately 30 "A" class boats competing and 30 power boats for judging,
safety and spectators. We expect up to 250 people here in Oshkosh for the event.
The third regatta the Oshkosh Yacht Club is very excited to bring to the City is the 2009
National `B" Scow Championship from Thursday, September 9, 2009 through Sunday,
September 13` This Regatta should draw over 50 "B" class boats from all over the
country, and approximately 30 power boats for judging, safety and spectators. This event
should bring an additional 250 people or more into Oshkosh this fall.
The Oshkosh Yacht Club was chosen to host the "A" National and "E" National
Championship Regattas because of the tradition that surrounds the city and scow sailing.
The OYC was founded in 1869 and is one of the founding clubs of the Inland Lakes
Yachting Association.
For all three Regattas the boats will be housed at Miller's Bay and will be raced on Lake
Winnebago directly east of Menominee Park. We have requested the following items
from the Parks Department: trailer and boat parking in the field north of the parking lot,
tent placement with electricity, chairs and tables on the lawn south of the motor boat
launches, and reserved docks along the south end of the bay. We plan to moor the

competing boats as well as power boats in and along the south end of the bay through out
the Regattas.
We have been working with Tom Stephany in the Parks Office to address the details and
ensure each event's success. We request that the city approve our plan for the Xtreme
Invite Regatta, the "A" National and the `B" National Championship Regattas. These
events will bring many to our city to sail or spectate. We will be able to showcase our
most valuable asset; the water. There will be a great deal of media coverage from the
start to the finish for all events.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call. My phone number is
426 -2645. Thank you.

Re: Special Event Request
The Oshkosh Police Department is requesting permission to hold the third annual
Oshkosh National Night Out event on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, 4:00pm- 8:00pm at
South Park.
This is a community -wide event designed to raise citizen awareness about crime
prevention, build and strengthen positive relationships with law enforcement and other
first responders and celebrate neighborhoods and community. We hope to provide
activities for all ages and information on community resources and safety. Nearly 300
people attended the 2007 event that was held at the Boys and Girls Club. Over 700
people attended the 2008 event held at South Park.
Oshkosh will join thousands of other communities (15,449 communities in 2008) around
the country and in Canada who will be hosting similar events.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
