Hi everyone:
Talk about another hot, gorgeous week. I wanted to let everyone know that I'll be in most of this week, so the doors to the club and the washrooms will be open by 9am (except on Thursday for the first day back to school I'll probably be late and very emotional - ugh, my oldest starts High School, which makes me feel very old). Also our lifeguards are on duty all week, until Sept 6, from 12noon - 5pm. Please come down to enjoy the last week of our Maskwa summer.
I'm working on a number of Fall Maskwa activities so please subscribe to the blog. I would also ask you to please direct all Maskwa questions to manager.maskwa@gmail.com.
This morning I received this great email from Dan Dugie, our Paddling Director and take a look at what he has to say about our Maskwa paddlers who competed for Nationals in Regina.
"In looking at the times most races this year were quite competitive with places being decided by tenths of a second in many cases. To be among the top 9 in Canada is quite an achievement with many of our athletes finishing in and close to the medals. Well done to all!" says Dan Dugie.

These are very impressive results and as I said in an earlier blog we're going to make sure a good portion of Nationals is funded by Maskwa for 2011.
A reminder if you haven't made your Maskwa War Canoe donation now is the time. Please take to the time to read the information on the website. Hope to see many of you around the club this week.
