Membership Information

The S.O.S. leadership team is committed to executing the S.O.S. mission, as it continues to look for ways to improve the
Lakeside Sailing Center experience. S.O.S. is proud to serve its members and provide strategic direction for the
Lakeside Sailing Center to ensure its foundation for generations to come. S.O.S. welcomes new members and thanks current members
​for their ongoing support of one of the most active small boat sailing centers in the country.
