GLRF hosted its City Launch Social in the heart of Chicago’s gay community, Lakeview, at Hydrate. Twelve rowers braved the mid-30 temps (~3 C) to sip bartender Mike’s Rum shooters and chat up rowing. Attendees included a local rowing crowd dominated by women, as well as rowers from Seattle and Colorado.

GLRF has scheduled a series of City Launch events to create awareness of GLRF among gay and lesbian rowers and to create greater awareness of rowing among the gay and lesbian community in each City.

In association with the City Launch event is our Ready All Boats! 2004 Awareness Campaign GLRFReadyAllBoats_23Dec03.pdf 27.05K 0 downloads that is designed to foster interest in forming boats for the major gay and lesbian regattas planned for 2006. Each City Launch will be conducted in association with a local rowing club or boathouse to help promote rowing in the local community.
