Hello Anti-dote board, friends and family,
Thanks to everyone who came out to support the christening ceremony of the Zero class transatlantic single-handed sailboat after Anti-dote at the last moment. It was a very last minute notice of this event and not everyone got the email and could make the event.
Adrian's retirement business and passion has turned into a great fundraising venture for Anti-dote.
Enough members came out to make it an exciting photo shoot and fun ceremony at the Royal Victoria Yacht Club.
We had speeches, champagne, roses tossed off the bow, and the photographer from the Oak Bay News!!! The pictures attached show the boat without it's mast, but that will come.
Anti-dote will be heading off for its first single-handed race between San Francisco and San Diego in early July.
Ideas are percolating for exciting new fundraising initiatives for Anti-dote and there is still lots of time to get involved! Watch for announcements for opportunities during the summer to go out on the waters for a sail on "Anti-dote"
Shantelle will be organizing something through the gurlz club programs and Alison will be organizing something with Sistahs. Aunties, you'll have a chance too! Start organizing your life jackets now!
Friends and family are you ready for some excitement?
Does anyone else have photos they want to share?
Best,
Jo-Anne
