Join Us - Have Fun - Do Good
As a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the LWSA relies on support from members, donors and volunteers to run our programs.
Your tax-deductible membership donation helps the LWSA's Sailing School, which teaches hundreds of children 8 to 16 to sail each year.
Becoming a member of LWSA is a great way to show your support for the good work that we do. Members get involved in LWSA to the extent that they desire, from support to good governance to volunteering keeping the sailing center ship-shape.
