18th Annual HOSPICE CHARITY CUP – August 5 & 6, 2011 Jefferson County, NY
Lake Norman Hospice Regatta — What’s your hover strategy?
You may not realize it, but there’s a fun side to hospice too. It comes out every once in a while, and when it does, look out!
Tomorrow night is one of those times. Each year we have a party around the time of the Lake Norman Hospice Regatta. It’s our one late-night event that puts us home pleasantly exhausted (feeling all young and crazy again), at a decidedly unearly hour.
It’s a night of entertainment, excellent food and libations, and conniving strategy. Where does the conniving part come in? Well, we’ve got both live and silent auctions and, once you get your heart set on one of the many awesome items up for grabs, you will do whatever it takes to make it yours.
You will keep tabs on your competition who will be bidding for your silent auction item (the one you saw when you walked in the door and simply knew that fate had left it there just for you). You will go back and subsequently make more bids. And when the warning comes that there are only minutes left to finalize bids, you will hover over your item like a mama bird protecting her nest. It will get nutty and, man, you will have a good time!
So what will you be hovering over this year? The real question is what will you not? We have a fabulous vacation to Royal Palm Beach Resort in St. Maarten, and accommodations at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, the Harbourview Inn in Charleston, and the Ritz-Carlton in Atlanta. You can bid on a Bonefish Grill gift basket (which includes dinner for eight!), personal chef services, beautiful works of art, jewelry, and so much more.
So put on your fancy cocktail duds (no jeans allowed at this shindig!) and join us at The Peninsula Club on Lake Norman tomorrow night. Sounds like a party you don’t want to miss, right? Tickets for all of this fun are a bargain at $85 and include an expansive dinner and dessert buffet, music, entertainment, and, of course, the auctions.
By definition, we can’t feel young and crazy unless the party people show up. That’s you. Tomorrow night, it will be your turn to go home pleasantly exhausted. Because you will. And if you’re lucky, you’ll go home with a bunch of loot in tow! Better start practicing your hovering.–Andrea Powell
Proceeds from the Lake Norman Hospice Regatta Party benefit Hospice & Palliative Care Lake Norman, a regional office of Hospice & Palliative Care Charlotte Region. The evening begins at 6:30 pm and lasts until 11pm. For more information, or to purchase your tickets online, visit our website, hpccr.org.

WCSC Hospice Regatta – October 22 – 24, 2010
Godspeed to Highlight Hospice Turkey Shoot Regatta – Oct. 8-10
“It’s official,” exclaimed Karen Knull at a recent meeting of this year’s Hospice Turkey Shoot Regatta Committee. “The Godspeed is coming!”
Karen, who with husband Ken, runs the Yankee Point Sailboat Marina in Lancaster, has been working tirelessly on getting the famous 17th century sailing replica to visit Lancaster to help celebrate this year’s regatta. “I’m so excited, I can hardly wait for it to get here,” she told fellow committee members after learning that all her hard work had finally paid off.
Noting that the Godspeed is a re-creation of one of the three ships that brought America’s first permanent English colonists to Virginia, committee chairman John McConnico congratulated Karen on securing the attraction. “This is wonderful news,” he said. “A great way for children and spectators to learn more about our history and to actually see what it was like to sail back in the 1600s.”
Karen nodded in agreement, then leafed through her yellow-ruled pad, looking for – and finding – a specific note. “So far, we’ve scheduled tours onboard the Godspeed for Chesapeake Academy students and for fourth graders from Northumberland and Lancaster,” she smiled.
The Godspeed, along with replicas of the Susan Constant and Discovery, are mainstays of Jamestown Settlement, a museum of 17th-century Virginia that is located adjacent to Historic Jamestowne and operated by Virginia’s Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation. During race week the Godspeed will sail into the Chesapeake Bay and up the Rappahannock River (second week in October; regatta is Oct. 8, 9 and 10).
The Yankee Point Sailboat Marina in Lancaster will be the Godspeed’s third port in her four-voyage schedule of maritime participation and educational outreach programs this year.
“She won’t actually be competing in the regatta representing 17th century boats,” laughed John, “but a lot of other ‘younger’ boats will be there.”
The Hospice Turkey Shoot is a famously fun regatta that discriminates against new designs and levels the sailing field for old ones. To participate, a sailboat must be a monohulled. Technically, the boat itself can be newer than the last twenty-five years, but its design cannot. There are no specific rules governing how old captains, first mates, and crew can be, or how well designed they are, as long as they’re able to avoid running into each other and can get to the starting line on time.
Traditionally, the race is held during the second Saturday and Sunday in October because that is when the wind gods are most receptive to pleas from becalmed sailors.
A one-of-a-kind delightful event, the Turkey Shoot is the largest regatta on the Southern Bay and the largest Hospice regatta in the nation. “It’s also a major fund raiser for Hospice services in the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula,” said one committee member.
This year will mark the regatta’s fifteenth anniversary. “We’ve been hosting the Turkey Shoot a long time, and it’s a lot of work,” said Karen. “But,” she added, “There’s just nothing like it.”

If you would like to sail in the regatta, schedule a Godspeed tour, or make a supporting donation to Hospice via the regatta, you can also contact Karen Knull at 804-462-7018 or Karen@yankeepointmarina.com. She will answer marina-related questions as well.
