Great news! The venue for the TRR DC Biathlon in years past, The Washington Canoe Club was awarded a $5,000 grant by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. These grant funds will be used towards the funding of the Historic Structures Report.

“Organizations like the Washington Canoe Club, help to ensure that communities and towns all across America retain their unique sense of place,” said Stephanie Meeks, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. “We are honored to provide a grant to the Washington Canoe Club, which will use the funds to help preserve an important piece of our shared national heritage.”

“We could not be more grateful for the support given to the WCC from the National Trust for Historic Preservation,” says Andrew Soles, President of the Washington Canoe Club. “This grant helps to ensure that the all volunteer WCC continues providing our community programming while preserving and protecting the iconic boathouse on the Georgetown waterfront for the enjoyment of many generations to come.”
