« See you TODAY at Lua, starting at 4PM! | Main
Thank you, from Hoboken Boathouse!
In case you did not already hear, the 1st Annual Hoboken Boathouse Fundraiser was a huge success! We could not have asked for more support from our event Sponsors and volunteers, and friends of the Boathouse.
The event featured MC Soul Joel, Cap’n Mary of The Pirate Circus, and YOU. More than 150 of our closest friends packed the lounge and bar at Lua, including Mayor Dawn Zimmer, Freeholder Anthony Romano, Councilman Peter Cunningham, Councilwoman Beth Mason, and Councilman Ravi Bhalla.

This Holiday Season, Order a NEW! Hoboken Boathouse T-Shirts and Consider a Boathouse Donation
While it may be cold out on the Hudson River, we will be working this winter to plan for the upcoming 2010 season. The season typically begins in early-June, with volunteer training, and our first Free Kayaking Day programs. This holiday season, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Hoboken Boathouse to help sponsor Free Kayaking Days. In 2009, we helped nearly 1,000 participants paddle the Hudson River, many for the first time. We also sponsored several Hudson River paddle trips and pre-season volunteer training. Your end-of-the year 2009 donation will help to sustain these programs next year.
What’s next?
Enjoy the upcoming holiday season, and we will be in touch in March 2010, with the Annual Hoboken Boathouse Meeting and announcements for the Summer 2010 season. Stay tuned!
