Summer fun has begun with Club bike rides, in various locations, and NNY Paddlers doing what they do every Monday and Wednesday on the Mohawk. If you’ve ever wanted to learn to paddle or would just like to enjoy activities with a group, this is a great opportunity. With the first of several regattas scheduled for Thursday June 19, there is always a need for assistance at the registration table or timing the competitors. SWC has submitted a deposit to Catskill Casting for the historic marker highlighting the initiatives of Schenectady Wintersports Club in the 1930’s in building alpine ski trails, racing, snow trains, ski patrol, rope tow and more. It’s exciting to think of the “Yantaputchaberg sign” highlighting our Club’s contributions to alpine skiing for generations to come. Generous contributions have been made, to date, but we are still in need of $640.00 to meet our goal. Any and all contributions are appreciated and will result in this permanent commemoration of SWC. There is a link under “donations” on our website specifically for the sign.
My best to all, Karen |

***Location of Towpath Regatta changed to Kiwanis Park ****
Monday Night Paddling at Kiwanis Park
By Kim Greiner If you are interested in learning how to paddle a canoe or kayak, or just want to paddle recreationally with some awesome people, join us on Monday nights at 6pm at Kiwanis Park in Rotterdam Junction. We hope to begin on May 12, but the water level may preclude that, so we’ll begin on May 19.
You may bring your own watercraft, paddle, and PFD (personal flotation device/life jacket) or contact Ed at 518-421-2947 or Kim at 518-421-2939 at least two days prior to when you’d like to paddle so that we bring all the equipment you will need. We usually paddle from 6:30-7:15/7:30 then enjoy some snacks and beverages, as well as paddling stories, afterwards. Kiwanis Park is right on the bike path, so if you’d like to bike/walk while the rest of your family is paddling, bring your gear. |
