I<br>think Parks has also reached out to the Village Community Boathouse, and<br>the Sebago Canoe Club.<br><br>It is important that the entire paddling community try to make a show of<br>support of this initiative. Is anyone else available from 10:00AM to<br>12:00PM on the 27th?<br><br>Come by water, appropriately dressed in a drysuit, or by land. I can bring<br>a bunch of PFDs, and paddles to hand-out as a visual aid for people who<br>don't go in the water.<br><br>Email me BACKCHANNEL if you want to paddle over, otherwise just come down.<br>EITHER WAY PLEASE RSVP AS REQUESTED
