[iF] Invited to join the Dragon Boat Crews!

The Ithaca Asian American Association, IAAA, runs the Dragon Boat Program in town and we invite members of the Ithaca Forward to come out and try Dragon Boating.

We meet at the Cass Park Dock behind the swimming pool. We're out on the water 3 times per week from May-October.
Monday and Wednesday, 6:00-8:00 p.m.
Saturday, 10-12:00 p.m.

In Dragon Boat racing, teams of 22 crew members compete 250, 500, and 1000 meter races on a 42 foot canoe at 60-70 strokes per minute. With sprint races lasting from 1 minute to 5 minutes, dragon boating provides opportunity to get fit and stay fit. At the same time, it promotes teamwork and friendship.

We're proud to host the inaugural Finger lakes International Dragon Boat Festival on July, 15, 2006. You can learn more about it at www.ithacadragonboat.org. Organize a team to compete, come and watch the festivity, or help make the festival a success by volunteering.

Together, we can help make Ithaca a better place to live, work, study, and/or play.
