Middle of the racing season and things are starting to heat up!
MW have already raced in Tacoma Washington on may 17th. It was a great to be racing again! We are now training for our next race in Salem Oregon June 29th at the World Beat Festival. In two weeks, we have our next race in Kent Washington on July 12th. The next race will be our biggest one for the year, happening in the beautiful Victoria, BC on August 16th & 17th. This is a favorite venue for the team with it's super nice people, beautiful scenery and wonderful racing site. We will be racing in the mixed division since there is not a women's division and hope to kick some mixed teams butts! Last but not least, we will participate in the Portland race at Tom McCall's waterfront park. This will take place on September 6th & 7th. It will be a wonderful event with food vendors, fun racing and a great location!
For fundraising we have already had our annual plant sale, which generated about $800. On July 26th & 27th we will have our annual garage sale which brings in lots of money and is a whole lot of fun on top of it all!
In between all of the racing and fundraising we have fun social events and get togethers. Our first big event we had was bowling. It wasn't your ordinary bowling either! It had couches to sit on, served nice food, had big screen TV's and waiters to serve us. We had a blast! We are also doing community service in various ways. We have donated to food banks, help with keeping our wonderful Willamette clean and plan to have another big community project happen. We are always looking to add to our wonderful team...so if you want to join a team that you will meet new people, get in shape and have fun, you have found the right place!
Paddles up!
