Greetings from the President
Summer has gone by in its typical speedy manner, and I hope everyone has been out enjoying the lakes and rivers. There is a tremendous variety of things to do in paddlesports from recreational day trips to wilderness excursions, and they are all great. As we head into fall there are a few activities you may be interested in, and our Club business to take care of.
