alcoons Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 This is the annual appeal for your help in spreading the word about the "5th Annual New to Sea Kayaking Workshop". Sunday, May 2. Some ideas: Print out and post the attached flyer. If you do post at a public location, you might let everyone know here so we don't duplicate efforts. Consider outdoor stores/outfitters, kayak shops, food stores, gyms. Heidi pointed out last year that "Seems like I've had the best response for posting things at coffee shops and fitness centers." See a list of some of last year's places below.Mention the workshop to friends, colleagues, spin class members (I had great luck this way last year), the person next to you at a kayak shop who seems like a beginner, the police officer who pulls you over for not having a white flag on the end of your 28 foot ocean crossing sea kayak, etc. Email the friend who always wanted to become a sea kayaker.Heidi also suggested last year "Ever been at a put in - or anywhere for that matter - with your kayak on top of your car and someone asks you where you kayak and how you find folks to kayak with? Perfect opportunity to hand them a flyer for our beginners workshop!!! Some of last year's posting: NESC ERBA Osprey North Shore Kayak. CRCK EMS City Sports Wilderness House REI LL Bean West Marine Marathon Sports YMCAs Metro Fitness Skimarket Sports Authority Trader Joes (said they would put it in their staff room) Me and Ollie's Exeter (and Rye on Rte 33?) Olympia Sports On the Vine (community bulletin board) Stop & Shop (community bulletin board) Elements Diet & Fitness Thanks so much, The New to Sea Kayaking Workshop presenters.

alcoons Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 Was just at the Reel Paddling Film Festival. Dane of REI and Dave of Charles River Canoe and Kayak were nice enough to let me leave a pile of flyers on the promotion table. Flyers will be posted at Charles River (Newton) tomorrow.
