Hi Friends!
We have brilliant learn to sail instruction in SCOW, but sometimes all the slots in our classes are filled up for the season and folks still want to learn. And they want to learn now! Well, now you can join in on the fun!
Join our great George Umberger (former SCOW Commodore and great SCOW member) and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Sail for Cancer Cures (SFCC). The Sail for Cancer Cures is looking for people to join the team that will be training for the 19th Annual Leukemia Cup Regatta this fall at the Washington Sailing Marina.
Three reasons to join Sail for Cancer Cures:
1. SFCC provides you with hands-on instruction for those completely new to sailing from great sailing schools in the area – DC Sail and Mariner Sailing School. Lessons are conveniently located in either DC or Alexandria.
2. Meet new friends. SFCC attracts a great group of people who are really supportive of the rest of the team members, and a ton of new friendships are forged.
3. Saving lives. There is a fundraising requirement to participate in Sail for Cancer Cures. It's totally manageable with the help and advice you get from SFCC staff and other team members. Over 76% of the funds raised go directly to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's programs (a great percentage for charity organizations!), which help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, and myeloma by supporting research and providing services to patients and their families.
There are limited spots in the program and the program sets sail to save lives at the end of June, so if you're thinking this would be a neat thing to do this summer RSVP to Lynn.Heun@lls.org 703-399-2930 by this Friday June 22.
Cheers and see you on the water!
