January 23

HeyTeam! GREAT turnout Sunday- optimum weather and enthusiasm. The wind was holding back and really let loose as soon as we left the parking lot!
I hopped over to the OC demo at Santa Clara, and by 11am it was howling! Ask Roberta and Kim (Survivors) as they were testing some oc's that day.. Steve and Judith were over there too.

Thanks to Jerry and Susie for taking the 10man steering group on a crash(less) course of dragonboat steering- its just a first lesson gang- so no one gets to toss in the towel! Time at the till, time in the boat... its all about practice, and we promise to give you that time as we move forward these next few months.

The 30th is orientation day- and it could be "rewarding" for you to recruit serious participants to the team, there is a financial incentive program in place: if you recruit and 3 of your recruits sign up and pay their membership- your member ship dues are FREE! How great is that!?

We have a great day planned:
we will meet and get on the water by 8am- DONT BE LATE! we wont wait
work out til 9
meet and greet the recruits at 930 (Judith already signed up 38 people!)
introduce the stroke and the sport, then get YOU to help teach them the basics- its a teach-to-learn philosophy- so please plan to stay! and paddle with them until 1030
Afterwards, we will EAT! (bring something to share)

Looking forward to a great day Sunday!
