From the President’s Desk
DEAR OCC ‘OHANA, I am thrilled to be writing to you as the newly elected President of our great Club. As we look ahead to the coming year, I want to express my gratitude for the op- portunity to be a part of such a capable team of individuals who are dedicated to making our Club the best it can be.
Over the next few months, we have several exciting building projects planned that will help to enhance and maintain our facilities and create even more opportunities for members to enjoy all that the Outrigger Canoe Club has to offer. I am confident that these projects will be completed with the utmost care and attention to detail, and I am excited to see how they benefit our Club community.
As summer approaches, all Club members are encouraged to participate in our world-class paddling program. Whether you’re a junior or senior, beginner or expert, our program offers something for everyone! This year, we’re testing a new Spouse Athletic Membership—cleverly referred to as SPAM—option for spouses of members who don’t have their own OCC membership, and therefore haven’t been able to paddle in the past. If you’re in this category and would like to participate in the paddling program this summer, please reach out to the paddling coaches or the Club’s Athletic Director Matt Tanigawa for further details. Our seasoned coaches are dedicated to helping each member reach their full potential, regardless of your experience. I am confident that with hard work and dedication, we can achieve the success that the OCC athletic teams have demonstrated for more than 100 years. I am truly honored to be a part of this community and am committed to serving all members with dedication and enthusiasm. I look forward to
Spouses of members are now eligable for a SPAM (Spouse Athletic Membership)! Interested? Contact Matt Tanigawa for details.
working with each of you in the months ahead to ensure that the Outrigger Canoe Club remains a vibrant and welcoming place for all who share our passion for Hawaiian ocean sports and community activity.
Aloha,
Curt DeWeese, President
