Dear Boathouse Volunteer

We have started the winter pool program at Riverbank State Park. Details and
directions for the public classes are on the Boathouse website, under the
Programs page. http://downtownboathouse.org/programs.html
Check on the calendar for last minute closing or changes in time.

We will be hosting volunteer practice time in the pool from 3PM until 4PM on
Saturdays and 2PM to 4PM on Sundays. If you want to come for the practice time
you must to be willing to help with the public class from 4:00 to 6:00, and help
clean-up and put away the equipment afterward. If you missed the special
training session it's no problem, just come to the practice time and talk to the
volunteers running the program.

The sessions will run until March 28, 2009. Weekends when it is not running will
be posted on the website.
