Our vibrant community takes the work of many hands to keep things working smoothly. There are a number of small committees whose work is sometimes nearly invisible, but critical nonetheless. We could not maintain the club without them.
Club Sake is a volunteer-driven organization, and we are always looking for more volunteers! Below are some of our active committees. Want to get involved? Have a question? Need more info? Please reach out to the leads below or contact the secretary. Have a committee idea or group you want to champion? Let the SAKE Board of Directors know.
