We could use a couple volunteers to help answer questions and keep things organized as people come to our dock for a sailboat ride. And finally, we could use help with marketing and promotion to help get the word out about our organization and the Sail Training Program. As many of you know, we lost a friend of sailing last summer-Gary Sowden. Some of the income generated by this fund will be used as scholarship money to help young people have a sailing experience that they may not normally be able to afford. Teaching our youth to sail and appreciate the water around us is part of our mission, and we do not want to leave anyone out.
Most children jump at the chance to take sailing lessons in the summer.
They love to spend time on the water. If you are thinking of enrolling your kids in a summer sailing school, start by asking them if they really want to learn how to sail. There's no point in signing your children up just because you wish they would learn how to sail. They have to want to learn in order to make it a fun experience. A well run sailing school will do a thorough background check on their instructors before they let them on the water with your children.
