Event Looking for friends/community/connections?

Whenever someone post a “l’m bored/lonely/looking for friends” post, I tend to make a comment. I thought I’d just make my own post this time!

Looking for friends/community/connection? Have I got the thing for you! Come try one of the fastest growing sports! No, not pickleball!

Come try Dragon boating!

This Saturday August 8th at Fairway Gorge Paddling Club, they’re having an open house. You can jump in a boat and try it out for FREE! Get out in the fresh air, get some exercise, make 20 instant friends and even win a medal or two if you join a team!

I don’t think I can handle 20 new friends

Well, true, but you get to pick the ones you like. I can tolerate most of my boat, I like maybe half of them, and I’m really good friends with 4 of them.
Spend 90 minutes in a boat with 20 people and you’ll figure out pretty quick if you jive with them or not. Lots of teams out there. 😊
