This past weekend was a few days of pride in serving our country, camaraderie, sharing, and togetherness for veteran women. Women came from many places in Michigan and from other places across our U.S.A. They were able to come for free sponsored by the West Michigan Sail Program and many other local businesses.

Women were able to just relax and participate for free in many different activities. Some of these activities included Sailing, Equine Therapy, Yoga Healing, Charter Fishing (10 fish were caught and eaten by all) Flying Fishing Casting and Fly Tying, Weaving with Looms, local Art Projects. Many local business donated time, energy, food and products to give these awesome women a weekend of great memories.
