Dear Boathouse volunteer
If you are looking for something paddling related to do in the depths of
February:

The Hudson River Paddlers Guild, in partnership with the Hudson River
Park Trust presents



THE TEVA REEL PADDLING FILM FESTIVAL

AND

"CITY OF WATER"

This event includes the United States Premier of prize-winning
whitewater and sea kayaking films from around the world, sponsored by
TEVA and hosted by New York River Sports at Pier 66 in NYC!

For the very first time in New York City a unique film festival will
show exclusively kayak documentaries and shorts. The content ranges
from sea kayak expedition footage, spoofs and satires, to wild river
white water action video and more. The screenings will also
featureCity of Water, a documentary produced by the Municipal Arts
Society and the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance, about the future of
New York City's waterfront.

The films are spectacular, but as if that wasn't enough, you will also:

• Have a great time at a fun film and party event.

• Mingle with friends and meet other area paddlers for future
paddling plans … get to know paddling enthusiasts who are members of
organizations and lists such as NYCKayaker, The NYC Downtown
Boathouse, Sebago Canoe Club, Yonkers Paddle and Rowing Club, ConnYak,
American Canoe Association (ACA), British Canoe Union (BCU), Hudson
River Watertrail Association, New York Kayak Polo, New York
Outriggers, Floating the Apple and others. Meet representatives from
companies who offer paddling products, training and tours in the NYC
Metropolitan area.

• Chances to win or bid on paddling products and services at a discount.

• Opportunity for Supporting Organizations and area paddlers to
exhibit slides of their trips and adventures.

• Support local paddle sports -- any revenue generated over
costs will go towards sponsoring more community-building events and
activities.

Eat, drink and be merry – the perfect antidote for the February paddling
blues!
