2010 RUSH Regatta - August 14, 2010! Come watch the 3rd Annual RUSH Regatta on August 14, 2010, on Deer Lake in Clarkston, Michigan. This is an opportunity for the student RUSH members to obtain sponsors of their CARDBOARD boats (entreprenureal opportunities) - design and build cardboard boats (engineering and manufacturing experience) - and then compete on the 14th! WHOA! It sounds like a FIRST experience - and that is what it is! The 2010 Regatta is also open to others - the Open Division (affectionately known as the Typhoon Class) allows others to race as well! We hope to see you on August 14th!
