Following the success of the July 20, 2024 summer banquet and paddleboarding event organized by the Fudan University Alumni Association of Greater Washington, D.C., many alumni expressed great enthusiasm and a desire for a second gathering. In response to this excitement, the association organized another paddleboarding and dinner event on August 4, 2024.
During the previous event, many participants felt that one hour of paddleboarding wasn’t enough. This time, the session was specially extended to two hours, allowing everyone to fully enjoy the fun on the water.
After paddleboarding, the group headed to Founding Farmers, a riverside restaurant along the Potomac River, for dinner. The meal was filled with laughter and lively conversation, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. Though it was already late by the time dinner ended, everyone remained in high spirits. The second paddleboarding and dinner gathering concluded on a joyful note, further strengthening the bonds among the alumni.
