Paddles Up! Ready! Ready! Bang!

 (1/4 stroke!) (1/2 Stroke!) (Full Stroke!) (15 sprints with the head down) then we gradually worked up into a fluid long stroke.........this was a start from the 70's and the start of our 40th Anniversary Newsletter.

Well.......we’ve done our start, our committee is meeting and planning, our goal is to get connected to 500 past and present Cheema members and organize Anniversary events. We have a few Cheema members communicating, contributing and we collected 250 emails.

 Well, it looks like we are going to pull a series to get this race going........Frank Garner (the founding coach of  Cheema and the Master of War Canoe coaching)...... is calling for a............20 Stroke Series........yes....put your head down and pull with all your guts or your name will be acknowledged in this race. Frank is calling for a Party!  Sunday July 12, 5:00 pm meet us at Cheema.

 

Bring your antique gear, change of clothing, camera and pictures.  We are going to have two mixed war canoes on the water coxed by Frank and Chris Garner. We are not sure if the boats will move but we can get nostalgic pictures.

Cheema's Masters' paddling team, headed up by James Rogers, will be hosting a barbeque meal including beverages. (tickets $10 for adults and $7.50 for kids under 12)
