Maskwa Update -Work Party this Saturday
Talk about beautiful! What a change from the lightning that was happening here at the club yesterday. I had to open my office window for the first time in 2011 and when I got out of my car this morning I was greeted by a symphony of bird songs. Got me thinking I should really set up a few bird feeders so I can watch the birds.
I wanted to give everyone an update. This week I will be in the office from 9am-2pm except on Thursday I'm off-site for a meeting but I should be back in around 11am. I will also be at the club tonight (Tuesday) from 6:30pm-9pm and Thursday night 6:30pm-9pm.
A reminder this weekend is our Work Crew Party on Saturday starting at 9am. We really do need help getting things in order. I will be popping in around 10am to get the coffee brewing for all and some yummy treats might be on hand.
Update on Day Camp: Sessions 2, 3 4, & 7 are all full.
A reminder to my regular Maskwa members to register and get your payments in asap. I'm getting ready to send a list of paddlers for 2011 summer season to the national paddling board. I'm also getting a mass mail out ready so you will all receive your updated Maskwa memberships, guest passes (those only come with the purchase of a family maskwa membership), official tax receipt, and other important information.
Any questions don't hesitate to call me at 443-0178 ext: 221 or email me at: manager.maskwa@gmail.com

Wine Tasting Fundraiser - Needs Your Support
Maskwa is holding an upcoming Wine Tasting Fundraiser and we need your support. Ticket sales are slow so I'm hoping the Maskwa community will rally around this event. The club has the chance to receive $2,300 in matched funds from our major sponsor, the Credit Union. I am in the office next week from 9am-2pm and you can purchase your tickets directly from me - cheque is preferred as I don't have cash in my office. Thanks so much for your support.
Maskwa Aquatic Club, overlooking beautiful Kearney Lake, will be holding a Wine Tasting Fundraiser on Saturday, June 11th from 7-9pm.
Treat yourself to a fabulous evening, our first social event of the paddling season; taste a great selection of international wines and a few beer. Come early since the launch of Maskwa’s new war canoe and C4 will take place at Maskwa at 6:30 the same evening.
Tickets are $30 each.
Wine sales: Naturally, people will be able to purchase the excellent wines being tasted throughout the evening (note: pick up of all wine will be at Harvest Wines next to Clearwater). That said, Harvest Wines has created a special case for us with selections from around the World. A case of reds, whites of mixed (6 &6) is $149. For each case sold, Harvest is donating $25 to Maskwa.

Hello Maskwa Members,
My name is Chris Haley. For those of you who do not know me I am a current athlete and coach at Maskwa Aquatic Club. I’m emailing in regards to an expanded Dragon Boat program being introduced this year. Last year we saw very little use of our Dragon Boat. This new program will provide paddlers of all levels the opportunity to participate in a fun activity that incorporates physical fitness in a social gathering type atmosphere.
Paddlers young or old, members or non-members, competitive or recreational are all welcome to enjoy this Maskwa Dragon Boat program. The program will run for 10 weeks commencing on Wednesday June 15th at 7pm. We are planning now to run 2 sessions a week (Wednesdays 7-8pm and Sundays 10-11 am) based upon the interest in this program. We are charging $7 per individual session or $50 for 10 sessions.
Maskwa will also be participating in the Manulife Dragon Boat Festival on Saturday July 9th this year. We have a team registered but we still need paddlers for the boat and to help get donations. It costs $1,250 to register a boat and we would like to raise approximately $175/paddler (20 paddlers). This is a great fundraiser for Maskwa as up to 75% of what is raised will be reimbursed back into the club. Tax receipts are issued for any donations over $20. This is a great opportunity for Maskwa to raise some money as it is the only tax receipted event this year! Contact me or Renee Field at manager.maskwa@gmail.com for more information.
Dragon Boating is an excellent way to stay in shape, meet some new people, and have fun! If you are interested in participating in this program it would be greatly appreciated if you could reply to this email expressing your interest. If there is sufficient interest in other days or times, we may be able to accommodate additional sessions. Please let us know if the Wednesday/Sunday combination does not work for you and when you would like to participate. If you have any questions in regards to the program do not hesitate to contact me at maskwadragonboat@landmark.ca or 835-3592 (h)
Thanks and see you on the water!

We are officially up and running again with our new on-line registration system. Please go to the website at www.maskwa.ca and click on the registration link. Please also take the time to read the instructions. You are only guaranteed a spot once I receive payment.

I will be in the office most days from 9am-1pm. Please call ahead at 443-0178 ext: 221 to make sure I'm on site.
Also, Saturday, May 14 from 9am-2pm is our Open House. Hope to see many of you then.
