Welcome to the inaugural edition of the St. Francis Sailing Foundation newsletter. Thanks to the hard work of our volunteers and the overwhelming generosity of our many donors and supporters, the Foundation is expanding the grants and programs that support our mission of community outreach, development and support of Olympic and competitive sailors, and maritime education. We look forward to interacting with you via this newsletter to highlight the successes of our many grantees and programs.

Greater year round communication is pivotal to attaining our goals, and this newsletter, which you will receive quarterly, is a way that we hope to improve, sustain and grow our mission into the future. If you did not receive this newsletter via email and wish to do so in the future, please sign up on our website at https://stfsf.digipowers.com. For cost-savings purposes, our ultimate goal is distribution of the newsletter by email only.
