Hello everyone,

This is just an FYI to those of you who may be interested. A friend of mine is running the following event and would love supporters this coming saturday! Please read...

Kid-Built Boats on Display Saturday at the Boat Ramp in Darden Towe Park.

Saturday, August 23, between 10 AM and 2 PM, the Lewis and Clark Exploratory Center will display wooden boats built by teens at the Boat Ramp in Darden Towe Park.

For over ten years, the Lewis and Clark Exploratory Center has been making wooden boats with teens and younger children, teaching planning, teamwork, carpentry skills, and the joys of completing a major project. The smaller boats, called pirogues, will be available Saturday for view and for short paddles on a quiet part of the Rivanna River by the Boat Ramp. Near the Boat Ramp there will be a display of photographs of the boat building program over the years. The program is a partnership between the City of Charlottesville Department of Parks and Recreations and the Lewis & Clark Exploratory Center. Camp counselors from the Parks and Rec summer camps help Lewis and Clark Exploratory Center volunteers with the boat building and planning. There will also be an opportunity to help paint the newest pirogue, built this summer. The newest boat will be blue and will join a fleet of red, white, green, and yellow.

For more information, see lewisandclarkexploratorycenter.blogspot.com or the Lewis and Clark page on Facebook. In case of rain, the event will be postponed. You can also call Executive Director Alexandria Searls at[masked]

To reach the Boat Ramp, enter Darden Towe Park and take a left. Pass the retention pond to your right. On the left will be the Boat Ramp's parking lot after the curve in the road.

\*\*PLEASE READ\*\*

I'm happy to have everyone join these events! I just have some rules to help me run things smoothly.
\*If you're interested in an event, please RSVP. If you can no longer come please change your RSVP to "Not Going" within 48 hours of the date and start time of the event.\*
\*If an event is full and you're on the waitlist, fear not! You might get off the waitlist if someone cancels.\*
\*\*\*If you're on the waitlist but make other plans please change your RSVP accordingly. As it gets closer to the day of the event I will reach out to you if you were recently added to the attending list to ask if you can come.\*\*\*
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*Please refrain from cancelling at last minute. This is so important. If something comes up and you have to cancel I'm very understanding of that. Cancelling last minute could inconvenience someone else from coming who really wanted to join us. It also impacts the waitlist if people get added to the RSVP list on short notice and can no longer make it. Trust me, it's not fun to deal with.\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
\*\*\*What's also not fun is more than 3 no-shows/late cancellations. If this happens I will reprioritize your RSVP to allow other people to attend.\*\*\*

Thank you for understanding. The main rule of thumb here is the be considerate of others.

Last but not least, please socialize and drink responsibly. Don't come if you're sick, bring your mask, wash your hands, get an Uber or a ride from a friend if you've had a bit too much to drink.

I look forward to meeting you all soon!
