Alameda Community Sailing Center invites members of the public to their Sailing Extravaganza on Saturday, May 21. "This event is open to the community, and we hope to provide a sailing experience for all," writes Victoria Anweiler, ACSC’s program director.

As a collaboration with National Safe Boating Week, ACSC will take community members sailing and host a potluck BBQ and open house to promote the nonprofit sailing center. "We’ll show you some tips and tricks on how to stay safe on the water, and we’ll have a PFD giveaway," said Anweiler.

The potluck BBQ will begin at 12:30 p.m., and ACSC will provide hot dogs and hamburgers. Visitors should bring a side dish or dessert to share and bring their own drinks. "If you would like to try sailing please bring: water shoes, warm non-cotton layers and a dry change of clothes," advises Anweiler. "Be prepared to get wet. We will provide PFDs, boats and on-water assistance. We cannot guarantee everyone will get on the water due to space, but we will try our best."
