Update and Congrats to Mark De Jonge on World Cup Medal

Hi everyone:
A quick update. I won't be in the office tonight as originally planned but I will be back in the office on Friday 9am-2pm and Saturday 10am probably until 2pm.

Saturday is our work party which starts at 9am. Please come and help us get things ready for the upcoming Maskwa season. Bring rake and shovels if you have them as we will be spreading sand once the docks get placed in the water. I'm looking forward to seeing the playground again.

I also wanted to shout out a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Mark De Jonge and Richard Dalton.


On the weekend, Mark De Jonge captured a World Cup Bronze medal - this is his first world medal and hopefully the beginning of many more. Mark won the bronze medal in the men's K-1 200, which was one of nine medals for Canada.

Also Richard Dalton was in the men's C-1 200 relay team and they placed third.

As John Moore, our previous Commodore pointed out, Mark and Richard got their start at Maskwa so it's quite a tribute to the club to see an athlete go this far.
