You are invited to an afternoon of swimming and fun on a double-deck party barge
at Lake Travis. Fast Track Running Club (www.fasttrackrunners.org) and
Adventuring Outdoors (www.main.org/adventuring) will host a two-deck party barge
on Lake Travis near Austin, Texas. This event is held to give gay sports and
recreation groups a change to meet and socialize with each other.
We put on this same event last summer, and it was a big success. It's a chance
for gay sports and recreation groups to meet each other.
If you are the contact individual for a gay sport/rec group, please forward this
invitation to your organization!
Here's a picture of the barge:
