The Boston Rowing Federation is very pleased to announce a special river-wide event on the evening of Sunday July 31.
En route to Rio, Sir Stephen Redgrave (5x Olympic Gold Medalist, Chairman of the Henley Royal Regatta) has agreed to join us in Boston for a dinner and talk.
The format for the event will be like a Sunday night supper potluck, but as this will likely draw quite a crowd, the dinner will be held at CRI.
Please mark your calendars; details follow;
When: Sunday July 31, 5:30-8PM (5:30 Cocktails, 6:30 Dinner, 7:00 Speaker)
What: Pre-Olympic Dinner with Steve Redgrave
Food: Potluck -- Last names A-F salads; G-S entrees; T-Z desserts
Drinks: Catered
Volunteers needed: contact Chuck Pieper (chuckpieper11 @ gmail.com)
Cost: No fee to attend. Cambridge Semantics is hosting the event.
First Come First Served: notify Chuck Pieper at chuckpieper11 @ gmail.com with the number in your party.
