Our first big splash will be our Friendraiser Party at the Culture Lab Gallery. We're keeping ticket prices affordable so that everyone can participate. It will be a great evening to reconnect with each other and welcome newcomers before the busy paddling season starts.
This year we spotlight The NYC Water Trail. Everywhere the map is blue we consider to be our Sixth Borough. Whether you paddle or row, with us or another Boathouse, we’d hope you'll celebrate with us at our friendraiser. If you're new to boating or new to the neighborhood, you're especially welcome to attend. Buy an extra ticket for a friend, a date or donate one to someone in need. But don't miss the boat. Get your early bird tickets now. Let's get ready for the summer!
