On the Bay, SF--8/22/09
The weather cleared just in time for a ship full of Arc Angels to sail the San Francisco Bay in support of The Arc on Saturday. We wanted to show our appreciation for all our Arc Angels do in helping to get The Arc through these difficult financial times, literally keeping our heads above water.
Over 50 people including Arc Angels, clients, family and friends sailed from Sausalito to the Golden Gate Bridge and back enjoying the views (including dolphins!) and hors d'oeuvres (all homemade by guest chef Eric Schmautz with the San Francisco Rotary).
Our vessel was a 75-foot custom built yacht--a special donation from two anonymous contributors especially with the Arc Angels in mind.
Even though times are very difficult, former Board President Greg Murphy urged everyone who could to renew and increase their annual pledges to The Arc so we can sustain our services and continue to provide the best quality of support for our clients.
Special thanks to Pat Napoliello for making this event happen and to Laura Repke for organizing all the details.
And thank you again to all our Arc Angels who braved the seas in support of our mission!
