Summer's End
It is hard to believe that we are at the end of summer. I hope you all were able to take the time to enjoy the warm weather and spend more time out on the ocean. I know I did - that's me sailing the Arabella in New England.
I know we at WSA-OC had an extremely full summer. We had two fabulous On-the-Water events β Sailstice, and our Catalina Extravaganza weekend. We had many private social sails with friends, raced our hearts out, attended 2 educational events and even had several members become ASA certified! Of course, I believe the most satisfying events were our philanthropic events held last month β the AdventureSail for Girls and our Women In the Wind events.
Not only did we have a ton of faboo events, but we also grew our membership by 20% as of publishing time. No doubt, it is our members that make us the best womenβs sailing organization in So Cal! It is at this time of the year that we also ask our members to begin thinking about getting involved by becoming a board member or director. Iβve always been a true believer that you get out of the organization what you put in to it.
Next year we will be looking for a Membership Director, Rear Commodore, Social Media chair and Newsletter Chair (Reporting to Communications Director). Please reach out to Shelley Furse, vicecommodore@wsaoc.org if youβd like to be considered for any mentioned position.
