Friendship Races – June 3, 2006 – Parsippany, NJ

Pfish Participants?

At this moment 14 Pfish have indicated they will attend the event, and another 7 Pfish thought they might attend. I need all Pfish to confirm to me whether or not they will be attending this event. You can email me at rich.t.smith@verizon.net, or, call me. Information about this event can be found at Friendship Race Info.

If possible it would be great to have a big Paddlefish turnout. Participating and networking can only be an asset for the Dragon boat community and growth in Pittsburgh.

Currently indicated “YES” on race interest sheet; Ben, Carolyn F, Carolyn N, Dick, Jim, Judy R, Kathi, Kim, Kit, Kristine, Laurie, Lisa, Rachel, and Rich.

Friendship Races – Parsippany Lodging

A block of 10 rooms are being held at the Sheraton Parsippany Hotel under the name Paddlefish Room Block. This is a nice hotel and you can review it at Sheraton Parsippany Hotel.

I have not developed a starting suggested room matrix for this event so please hook up with other Pfish for rooming together. If you need assistance in finding a roommate please let me know and I will help.
