[Ruhui Ni]

Dear Potential Participants,

 

To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Confucius Institute worldwide, the Confucius Institute at Michigan State University (CI-MSU) invites you to join the cultural event that we sponsored, Dragon Boat Race, on Sept 13th and 14th, 2014. Organized by the Women Center of Greater Lansing and sponsored by CI-MSU, the 2014 Dragon Boat Race has already attracted 27 teams to participate in the competition.  

 

We are recruiting 20 boat team members; females and males are both welcome (at least 8 females per boat), to represent our CI-MSU’s boat. You will have the whole day Saturday for practice and Sunday for the actual race (two day commitment). Lunch, snacks, and a free T-shirt will be provided for team members. For more information, please check our website at:

Date & Time: Saturday (9/13) from 8am to 4pm, and Sunday (9/14) from 8am to 4pm

 

Location: Adado Riverfront Park, Lansing, MI

 

Registration & Waiver: To register as a boat-team member, please contact Lisa Payne at lap...@msu.edu or 517-432-4649. You will need to submit a contact information sheet and sign the waiver form. The DEADLINE for registration is Sept 5th, 2014.

 

With origins dating back 2,300 years, Dragon Boat Race is a traditional Chinese cultural event and has become one of the fastest-growing corporate team-building activities in the United States. If you want to explore Chinese culture, don’t miss this wonderful opportunity. Even if you don’t want to participate in the race, you can experience Chinese culture and learn more about CI-MSU by participating in our various activities for kids and adults. Come support your local community and CI-MSU by watching the races and visiting the Confucius Institute booth in Adado Park.

 

See you at the race!

Dear all,

I apologize for posting this message again. CI-MSU is still short of paddlers for our boat. 

Please help us to forward this message to anybody who might be interested or any group as you see fit. 

We appreciate your support!

Best,

- Ruhui
