Hello all!
Incredible weekend! I spent Saturday on the Jack's Fork near Eminence, MO...if you're ever in the mood to drive three hours to paddle, I highly recommend visiting the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Fall colors are just around the corner!
Great kickoff meeting Friday! We spent some time getting to know each other and what it means to be a River Kid. Then we visited the green roof, where the Board presented some of the big ideas they'd like the organization to pursue. This is not an all-inclusive or must-do list, but it gives us an idea of what might be in store. Here are the projects/ideas the RK Board set afloat Friday:
Thanks to the Board for latching on to some older projects and coming up with some wonderful new ideas. Okay, I added the last one...can't blame a guy for trying. New RK members will have their shot at adding to the list soon.
MO River Relief Trip this Friday - Please let me know who is planning on coming along with MO River Relief for a day out and about Friday. I've heard from 5 or 6 people. I'd LOVE to get a bunch more going! (Bueller?....Bueller?....) How about this - If you join us, you're exempt from buying me a huge birthday present at the big party. Of course little ones will still be expected.
Living Lands and Waters Cleanup - 37 signed up! Yahoooooo... we'll make up more than 10% of the crowd at this rate. And if history repeats, we'll about 20% of the food...gotta feed those growing kids!
Attached you'll find an updated copy of the RK Meeting Dates for the year...we'll have lots of optional events hit the calendar as the year continues. I know you were worried your calendar wouldn't fill up...have no fear...
As always, send me new email addresses to add to my list...or let me know if you are no longer interested in receiving emails about River Kids.
See you soon!
