Marilyn Kali was voted to Life Membership in the Outrigger Canoe Club at the Annual Meeting on February 11, 2019. Marilyn joined the Outrigger in 1985 and has been a contributing member of the Club ever since.
She was editor of the Outrigger magazine from 1985 to 2018. The job spanned a generation of members and she worked tirelessly to provide content and photos for the magazine every month. She was a fixture at Club events and regattas, capturing our best moments and preserving them for future generations to enjoy.
She has also served on the Club’s various committees including Public Relations, Member Relations, Historical, Paddleboard, Outrigger Foundation and the OCC Emergency and Crisis Team. She founded the Senior ‘Riggers program and was chair for three years. She was a member of the Outrigger Foundation Committee in 1985-1987, then joined the Board of the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation from 1991 to 1997.
One of Marilyn’s major contributions was the establishment of the Outrigger Canoe Club Sports website in 2015 to memorialize our athletic programs online. She researched the OCC sports history for more than 30 years to bring this online resource to our membership. The site features a compilation of OCC teams, records, sports histories and photos of OCC sports from 1908 to the present. The site also serves as a repository for non-sports OCC historical information as well.
Marilyn began conducting video oral histories of OCC members in 2017 and has completed nearly 40 oral histories. Her dedication to the Outrigger Canoe Club remains an important part of her life and we are all better for it.
