September Meeting
Once again, thanks to Tom Meyer for hosting the paddle in which he took two Norwegian ladies into the delta launching from Rice Creek and going to Bottle Creek / Indian Mounds. Tom represented our club and our area well. To quote the paddlers from Norway: "we enjoyed every challenge and had a great time" "thanks for an unforgettable day; the delta is fantastic!". Tom did a presentation of this paddle at the September meeting, and it was enjoyed by all. It has been a while since many of us have paddled to the Indian Mounds, and it was nice to see the photos which displayed the beauty of that area and our delta.
Notes:
A big congratulations to Rich Wetmore and his eight year old daughter, Riley, for taking first place in the tandem division of the Pink Paddle Kayak Race on August 18th.
