Dear Boathouse Volunteer
We are beginning our Full Summer Program starting next week, Saturday July 13th
Starting on Monday June 15th we will be open all week from 5PM to 7PM in the
evenings at Pier 96. Pier 40 is already open Thursday evening from 5PM to 7PM.
We encourage everyone to come down and help out.
*******************
Our first Public Harbor Trips will go out Saturday July 13th. If you are
qualified and can help contribute to the safety of the trip. Please come along,
however we do not want every volunteer to go and to abandon the boathouse. If
there are enough assistants you may be asked to stay behind at the trip leaders
discretion. If you have assisted with a lot of trips, please be courteous and
let other qualified volunteers have a chance to go out.
If you have your own boat that is appropriate to the Hudson River and New York
Harbor Feel free to join us.
******************
We are also staring our regular New Volunteer Paddles on Tuesdays. The first one
will be Tuesday June 16 leaving around 7PM. from Pier 96. The trips are
typically 1 to 2 hours of easy paddling, arriving back before dark. The Aim of
these trips is to get new volunteers used to the Hudson River. We encourage new
volunteers come along paddle out in the river. All active Volunteers are
welcome.
*******************
During the Day on weekdays we run a number of Special programs for School
groups, day camps and other non- profit organizations at Pier 96 and Pier 40. If
you are free during the day on weekdays and would like to help out send an email
to
dayprograms@...

Thanks....but now the boathouse will have no one.... June 27th Coney Island
Hi folks. I appreciate the support, really. And t know the Coney Island things
are fun-but--like-----everyone-- wants to jump ship that day and paddle around
in Coney. We are going to do another one-called Grimaldi's mile-on August 9th.
So--we are going to split up the group because it is an abnormally popular trip!
So we are asking a few folks to switch to the next Coney trip. They'll be no one
to work the boathouse.
If you feel like you can do the August 9th trip, instead-please do.
If you have not done the Coney Island trips ever---we will try to keep you on
the June 27th. We are keeping a group of very trained types on there for both
days though. I have a huge truck-and I am starting to wonder if it will explode
w boats.
The Swim Support classes for the June 27th Coney Island Cibbows Swim will take
place at the DTBH, Pier 96 at 7:00PM on Thursday, June 25th
Please attend if you are going to do the swim support.
Also-please contact Sandy back channel if you need a ride that morning to Coney
Island-or you can drive some folks out there.
Thanks!
