5. Award Practical Items or Use a Perpetual or Upcycled Trophy<br>We started using practical awards about 5 years ago, with water bottles, flasks, hand towels. This year we did beach towels (Etsy, but shipped from GA so less of a footprint in trade) after seeing the photo of awards at Niantic Bay Yacht Club on the S of the S FB page! Great idea and well received!

7. Involve Local Organizations<br>CSC partners with Clean Coast (cleancoast.org) to clean up local waterways and barrier islands monthly. A local high school student (seen in the 2nd photo), whose mom is a CSC sailor, just created a Clean Coast Club at his school and we are giving full support. This cleanup was at a local boat ramp a week before our regatta.

8. Post Educational and Reusable Signage<br>We had plenty of signs but because of the hurricane and craziness resulting in trying to set up, we were minimal on posting them. Still, we did it enough that people followed the instructions!

9. Serve Local Food or Source Seafood Sustainably<br>All food was prepared by our members. No one had power, so it was amazing to see the array of options-many salads! I can

10. Organize a Green Team<br>While we had a 5 person committee to do the set up, etc., I have to say everyone in this photo (and more) are our Green Team.

19. Prevent Toxins from Entering the Water<br>We promote things like this and do our best to convince others.

20. Encourage Green Boating Practices<br>We are very proud that our past commodore, Ed Owens, after his diesel died this summer, became the first in our community to go electric! It was on the boat but not yet hooked up so we used zero fuel of our own to get out and back in for the regatta. We did get help from other boats, and had the tide in our favor. Everyone was impressed and very curious!

In addition, your FB posts are almost always shared on our FB pages. Thank you.
