A major thanks to all who contributed to the first annual "Art of Surfing" event in Newport Oregon on June 23rd! The event was a great success, generating new members and bringing out some extremely talented artists. Featured artists Ron Houchens, Yasmina Dredijer-Small, Andrew Rodman, Spencer Reynolds, Una Monaghan and Jeremy Starkey made this event successful and major kudos to all of them for their help and support. We didn't raise quite as much money as claimed in the paper, but we did make a couple hundred bucks each for Portland and Newport chapters. Thanks to all the volunteers and everyone that came out!
