Coffee with Friends: Intro to Paddling on the Chemung River

Join master paddler and Chemung River Friends co-founder Jim Pfiffer for this introductory paddling class. We'll meet at the Chemung River Friends office in Suite 8 of 111 N. Main Street, Elmira, NY at 9:00AM for some light refreshments and safety talk. You'll learn paddle signs and what to do if you get stuck or have an emergency. Jim is a gifted public speaker with a lot of experience--it's always a treat to attend one of his talks, and you'll get plenty of laughs in while learning a lot. Free life jackets donated by Hesselson's will be available after the meeting on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Doors open at 8:30AM and the talk begins promptly at 9:00AM. Drinks and light snacks will be available at no cost. This event is free, though a suggested donation is $10. This event is sponsored by Chemung River Friends and funded with grants from the Anderson Foundation, the Hilliard Foundation, and Casella.
