Mike still plans to offer all of us the chance to order anything we'd like from the NRS catalogue at about 60% of the retail value. This is an amazing chance to grab some gear or maybe secure a gift or two for some young paddler you know.
In order to take advantage of this offer, you may visit the online catalogue at www.nrsweb.com and find the items you'd like. Then either join us during the latter half of the meeting to write your order in with Mike, or send me an email with what you want and I'll figure your total and collect from you later on.
Mike will not be taking any orders from kids directly at the meeting. Only parents may do the ordering.
The next paddling trip is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, December 19 - 1st Day of Winter Break - 8am-4pm. We're hoping this will be a great way to kick off break. We won't have the time constraints associated with the evening trips...we'll paddle out to Mosenthein Island (around to the East side) and clean for a couple hours, making piles of the biggest items and carting off bags of the smaller/lighter things. Mike tells me the lack of leaves makes it easy to see a tremendous amount of trash, including some bigger items that will take a great amount of effort to remove.
Mind you, if we don't clean up these islands, no one else will. There's no way to access them except by boat, so there are very few people equipped (and willing) to carry out a venture like this. River Kids ROCK!
Mike tells me that we can take AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE WANT. He will commandeer the boats, equipment and guides to help...so if the ENTIRE River Kids clan and all its friends want to go, we'll make it happen. Of course, winter paddling gear is a MUST, so gear up now and enjoy the trip later!
Hope to see you all soon!
Ben
