What are Rent Parties?

 During the Harlem Renaissance in New York City, “rent parties” were held where neighbors got together, played music and shared food and drink. A door charge helped the host to pay the rent. Since our rent is being provided by a generous donor, our version of the “rent party” helps MPRA with expenses such as supplies or postage for mailings. The idea is that everyone brings a little food and beverage to share and we ask a donation of $5.

For those who haven’t attended one of these functions yet, you’ve missed a fun get together with other folks who care about the rivers and like to eat! It’s a great way to find out new places to paddle, if any fish are biting and share ideas about current and future projects.
