committees and the board has giv- en me many opportunities to meet so many members. It has strength- ened my bond to the OCC family. What’s a favorite Club memory that still makes you smile? I always reflect on surfing into the summer evenings at Old Man’s with Jake Vaughn, watching the OCC crews at the MacFarlane race surf into finishing wins, being there and supporting Mark Sandvold when he got his Winged “O,” riding dirt bikes with the OCC crew—there is a long list!
If you had to describe the Out- rigger Canoe Club in one word, what would it be, and why? For me, it’s two words: loyalty and commitment. These are what make OCC great and are the foundation upon which it has been built. The members before you made it hap- pen, and that is why you chose to be part of this legacy and history. Now is the time to step up and show your loyalty to our Club. I want to re- mind all members that committee and board positions are volunteer roles, and I urge each of you to get involved at some point during your membership to give back.
