> Good Afternoon-

> I am writing to you as the president of Out of Sight Dragons.  Out of
> Sight Dragons (OSD) is a team of blind and visually-impaired adults of
> all ages, from throughout the Washington, D.C. area, who particpate in
> the wonderful sport of dragon boating.  Dragon boating is a
> team-sport, somwhat similar to canoeing, and we practice on the
> South-West Waterfront, in D.C.  The practice location is accessible by
> both Metrorail and MetroAccess, and is even walkabble for folks who
> live in or around the Capitol Hill area of the city.
>
> OSD has been in existence for about two years.  Team members range in
> age from their thirties through eighties!  It is a wonderful team
> experience, providing comraderie, confidence, a competitive edge, and
> exercise.  Practices are held most Saturday mornings during the
> spring, summer, and autumn months, and we are taught the positions,
> commands, and paddling techniques of the sport by experienced members
> of the D.C. Dragon Boat Club.  Club members and other friends/family
> also assist the team as sighted guides.  OSD participates in regional
> dragon-boat restivals, a few times each year, where we race against
> sighted teams from around the world.
>
> Out of Sight Dragons is very interested in increasing our membership.
> We would love to welcome a new set of recruits, to share the benefits
> of the sport with others.  OSD membership is open to blind and
> visually-impaired persons who are at least 16 years old, who wish to
> learn to paddle.  Membership is also open to sighted friends and
> family who are interested in paddling and/or acting as guides on land.
>
> I am attaching OSD's Membership Inquiry form for your review.  Please
> share it with your organizations' membership to see if anyone may be
> interested.  If you or any of your members are interested in learning
> more and in joining us in spring practice, please feel free to contact
> me by e-mail or by phone (301) 587-3320 (H), (202) 874-1511 (W).
> Practice starts in early April, and the season runs until early
> November!
>
> Thank you for your time and consideration.  I look forward to hearing
> from all of you and your members!

> Paddles up!
