The Pacific Coast Sea Hawkers Are Official!
Dana Patera had been a longtime member of the So. Cal. Sea Hawkers. She enjoyed seeing old friends and tailgating in J-3 before the Seahawks would take on the San Diego Chargers. Unfortunately, that Chapter folded two years ago and Dana was left without a local chapter near her residence in Oceanside, CA. Since that time, Dana aspired to fill the void.
Last year, Dana began to build a new chapter. She submitted her name to Seahawkers.org on the "Future's Page". She began to receive inquiries about a chapter and was given referrals from Past President, Andrew Wright, and current V.P. of Membership, Traci Williams. In January, Dana decided that it was time to get the group together and see if a new chapter was possible. Nearly a dozen Seahawk fans showed up at Rookies Sports Bar in Oceanside, CA on the day of the 2004 Pro Bowl and elected to move forward with a new chapter.
In March, Dana submitted a membership list of sixteen, by-laws and articles of incorporation, and other required items to establish an associate satellite chapter. Then, on April 6th, it happened... The Pacific Coast Sea Hawkers were granted Trial Status as the newest chapter of the Seahawks Official Booster Club.
Dana and Michael Simpson, the Pacific Coast Sea Hawkers President and Vice President respectively, and all the members of the new chapter look forward to the year ahead. They are already hard at work organizing a Draft Day Party, a Pre-Season MNF Viewing Party in August, and resuming the tradition of taking over J-3 at Qualcomm Stadium with the Nor Cal Chapter for the Seahawk/Charger pre-season game.
Congratulations to all the members of the Pacific Coast Sea Hawkers!
