WOMEN ON THE WATER: WHAT WE DO BY NANCY BERBERIAN
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE WOMEN’S COMMITTEE? WHAT IS WOW? The Women’s Committee seeks to enhance the education and social engagement for the women of the Club. A variety of events are planned throughout the year, and each year the Women’s Committee selects a theme to focus on. This year WOW is focusing on leadership. Two leadership events were already held in the Spring. This Fall, WOW will host Vice Admiral Sandra Stosz, author of Breaking Ice & Breaking Glass. Her forty-year career is filled with leadership lessons from the first woman to command an icebreaker on the Great Lakes to leading a US armed forces service academy. Please join us on September 30 for an inspiring evening with Vice Admiral Stosz. The Women’s Committee also hosts creative events. In June, Chef Junior taught us how to roll sushi. Chef Junior demonstrated various techniques, shared his secrets and then watched over us as we rolled our own delicious sushi. Everyone passed the class and we are looking forward to advance our skills with the next lesson.

In May, the traditional Annual Ladies Luncheon was held with a fabulous meal by Chef Larry. Omega representatives shared the rich history of Omega timepieces while the guests had the opportunity to try them on. WOW – Women on the Water – has its own Sonar Sailing Series. The Sailing School Adult Education Team runs this program and this is the only WOW event that is for women only. The women will not only have the opportunity to improve their sailing skills but also have a fun night out on the water and dinner with friends. The first session is sold out, however, there are still some spots available for the second session beginning at the end of July. Sign up now on the website. Every member of CYC is eligible to participate in our events. Whether it is a traditional, creative, educational or a sailing program, WOW is here to welcome you and help you have fun. Please keep reading Dock Lines and the CYC Calendar for future WOW events. We look forward to seeing you at WOW events throughout the season. Hope to see you at the Porch Party on Mackinac Island! ✶
