Hello All! As you who obsess over calendars know, there's a regular RK meeting scheduled for this Friday. For those of you who obsess over avoiding calendars, let's hope you obsess over reading emails instead. For those of you who obsess over both…good luck.
If you're so inclined, mark your calendars for the River Kids 3rd Annual Polar Bear Pickup. It will be held at the same location as last year (North Riverfront Park) from 9am-2pm on Saturday, February 5…I'll send you all the details soon in a separate email. This is one of our biggest events of the year, so do your best to find some time to at least come drink some hot cocoa and take a moment to soak in how cool it is that your kids are some of the bravest, toughest (a.k.a. craziest) river lovers out there. FYI – I noticed that there is another group who's decided to do a winter cleanup out there…Maybe we started a trend??? I gotta say, more than one adult passer-by has told me that they were embarrassed that kids were doing work that they could be doing…Yet another tool our kids use to bring others closer to the rivers – shame. :)
Though we just got back from winter break here at NCS, there's certainly a lot going on behind the scenes in preparation for a very busy, but potentially very rewarding, spring/summer/fall for River Kids. These are some very ambitious, but capable kids…It's been simply amazing working with them. They deserver a ton of praise and recognition for all their efforts and actions…more than I can offer.
However, not more than a documentary-maker can offer…that's right, we recently heard from the producers of the full-length One Day On Earth documentary regarding our submission. In their note, they told us that they think our story was worthy of inclusion in their film. Whether that means a 2-second image or a 2-minute clip is yet to be seen…and I suppose it could mean a 30-minute clip lying on the metaphorical floor of the editing room…But to make it this far is a wonderful thing…let's hope sometime down the road we'll be able to point at the shoulder sticking out in the corner of the screen and say, "That's my shoulder!" Codephrase to prove you read this email all the way through – "No autographs, please!"
On that note, I'm going to retire to dreams of having a world-famous shoulder.
Take care…And look forward to many more great updates as well as a lot more info on the Polar Bear Pickup! I'll even send you a flyer (created by our own Michelle Zignago) to pass along to all your friends…heck, send it to your enemies…can't hurt…us….
See you on the river (or in the hall…whichever comes first),
Ben
