Sail Salem

Thank you to everyone who came to our open house on March 27th at the Witch Museum to help us celebrate our first season. We had over 80 people in attendence, and it was great to get a chance to talk to everyone. Thanks to some generous contributions, we raised almost $10,000. This money will go towards purchasing safety boats and hiring instructors.

During the evening we unveiled the junior program, our plan for community sailing for adults and families, and how you can help as a volunteer. Some of the details of what we discussed last night are listed below, including our Learn to Sail program, adult sailing, and how you can help as a volunteer.
