The first part of the year is always busy for your Orange County Council, with the submarine force
taking center stage. The COMSUBPAC Awards, the Submarine Birthday Ball and Sub Sailors of the
Quarter and Year presentations are all squeezed in around our Submarine "Leaders to Sea"

community leaders from Orange County out for at day a sea. The OC Council "Leaders to Sea"
program helps spread the Navy message by taking OC business, education and entertainment
leaders and allowing them to spend time with sailors while underway. 2010 will see us embark
folks on submarines and aircraft carriers.
