 March 19, 2018 - Alicia Jerger, Sr. Boating Director at Tempe Town Lake, gave us an overview of the many programs offered by the city of Tempe at the Town Lake. Alicia attended San Diego State University on a rowing scholarship and intended to become a lawyer before she got the opportunity to work for the city at Town Lake. She told us the Lake was conceived as an architecture project at ASU in 1966 and after many years of negotiations was completed in 1999. Now the Lake has several boating related activities and events, from rowing, sailing and kayaking clubs to the Dragon Boat festival every spring. Boats are available for rent most of the year. The City has done a superb job of making this a top rate recreation location.
