NOT A PADDLE -- Ballard Elks Paddle Club Christmas Party, Aloha Style.
The Ballard Elks Paddle Club is inviting the greater Seattle paddling community to their Christmas party tomorrow night. Get to know the Elks Paddling Club and check them out, maybe join. Here's more info from the Elks invitation:
Our December meeting on December 16th will not feature a speaker, but will instead be a winter party, aloha-style! Wear your finest Hawaiian-print shirts or anything else to brighten the night. We are inviting the broader paddling community to share in the festivities, so invite your friends! Bring food and treats to share, we’ll have some food as well. We'll have a selection of heavy hors d'oeuvres, and the kitchen and bar will be open! Invite all your paddle friends! We'll take non-perishable goods and donations for our charities.
See you there!

ABOUT THE LAKE UNION PANCAKE PADDLE
Eat Swedish pancakes. Then paddle. Beginners are most welcome. If you don't own a kayak, SUP or canoe, they can be rented by the hour at the dock we launch from. This group is open to all paddle craft (kayaks, SUPs, canoes, inflatables, dragon boats, etc.) and gathers regularly on the first Sundays of every month in the lobby of the Swedish Club which is open to the public for their monthly Swedish pancake breakfasts. We enjoy the ten million dollar view and have a Swedish pancake breakfast together to the accompaniment of live Scandinavian folk music. Then we take the short walk down to the dock and leisurely paddle for an hour or so on the placid urban waters of Lake Union, the most unique lake in the world--home to Academy award winning movies, famous art studios, amazing houseboats, float plane airports, historic vessels & sunken battleships, storied Olympic champions, Native American history, magnificent cityscapes, stupendous infrastructure, a surprising amount of wildlife and the birthplace of the Boeing Airplane Co.
We also do "Special Edition" paddles on the lakes and rivers of Western & Central Washington and on Puget's Sound, the Pacific Coast and the San Juans. Special Edition paddles often have no onsite rental availability.
