Community Before Self: Seventy Years of Making Waves

When Malin Burnham gifted funds
toward the construction of the new San
Diego Yacht Club Junior Sailing Center,
he stipulated that a list of "Virtues of
Excellence" be permanently attached
to the building and that these virtues be
taught on an ongoing basis to the junior
sailing participants. These virtues include
dedication, teamwork, and commitment,
and they are the result of lessons learned in
Malin's life and career.
Community Before Self details
these virtues and explains how anyone
can live a life of integrity and purposeful
giving. Regardless of income, political
views, or age, everyone can contribute
toward enhancing their community by
volunteering their time and effort.
