Hi All,

We need people to get the boats down to the water and be part of dotting of the eyes ceremony on Sunday.

Officially the ceremony starts at 8am but we need to be there before to set up.

As I understand it:

  1. Eyes are dotted on balloon/ribbon decorated boats (4 x 20, 1X10 and no swift) while at the shore of the lake.
  2. A prayer lead by local dignatory.
  3. 12-15 paddlers for each boat paddle 30 strokes back/forward x3 (symbolic bowing)
  4. 1 x lap around pontoon.

So we need lots of paddlers, please say you'll be there :)
