With the snow melted, the weather warming up and open water paddling opportunities increasing weekly, CASKA will be offering a second opportunity to tune up those rusty rolls and rescues ( or just plain mess around) in the comfort of the UIC pool.

In conjunction with Kayak Chicago, CASKA is sponsoring a night at the UIC pool on Wednesday, April 7 from 7:00 to until 9:30 p.m.

The first 10 CASKA members (paid up for 2010) who register with Alec Bloyd-Peshkin ([email protected] will get in free. All other members will get in at the reduced rate of $10 (down from the normal $15). If you wish to use one of Kayak Chicago's kayaks, you need to reserve a boat for $10 by calling (630)336-7245.

We will also be giving out to all paid members the must-have kayaking accessory of 2010: the CASKA logo-imprinted, BPA-free, polycarbonate 36-oz. water bottle and carabiner.

Note: If you haven't come to the UIC pool, you can find directions on the link below: 901 W Roosevelt Rd, Chicago, IL

Entrance to the pool is at the end of the sidewalk , probably next to where the Kayak Chicago trailer will be parked. If you are bringing your own boat, please make sure that it is clean and free of sand or dirt.
Dress for a relatively cool pool.
While many people park their cars behind the UIC pool building, officially there is no parking there, and people occasionally get ticketed.

Contact Alec offline at bpfamily@gmail to register. Make sure you are a current CASKA member first! (That means you've paid in 2010.) You can pay via PayPal at caska.org

I hope to see you there!
