Raffle worth $5000 – In memory of Dylan Robert McNeil
We are the “Rogue Waterski Team” of Southern Oregon and we currently have a waterski club with 10 families. We have been deeply saddened by the loss of our youngest member, Dylan Robert McNeil. Dylan became very ill with bacterial meningitis. This type of infection is very aggressive and in Dylan’s case progressed too rapidly for successful medical intervention. Dylan passed away one day shy of his 2nd birthday. This was so sudden and completely devastating for the McNeil Family. They are like family to all of us, and we are all struggling as to why this happened. Dylan will always be remembered for his BIG smile and infectious giggle.

ALBERTA WATERSKIER SOARS TO VICTORY IN RUSSIA
Dubna, Russia, July 12, 2009 - Ryan Dodd of Olds, Alberta has won the Jump event at the International Waterski Federation’s first World Cup event of the season. The 24 year-old leaped an impressive 67.1 metres in the finals, which earned him a tie with fellow Canadian Jaret Llewellyn. The pair were forced to compete in a sudden death “jump-off” where Dodd delivered a solid jump of 66.4 metres. Unfortunately, Llewellyn was unable to complete his jump as he hit the ramp too fast and crashed into the water. He was not seriously injured.
