Dinner
- Papa Felipe's will offer their complete menu, please pay for what you order
- While there is no charge for this event, we do encourage you to have dinner or at a minimum order a drink in support of our hosting restaurant that is supportive of Adobe on a monthly basis and not charging us for the use of their special events room
- Please recognize that with a group our size, it can be a challenge for restaurants. Please help your server by ensuring you give them your complete name when you place your orders, and that you are in relatively the same seat when your food arrives.
Charity/ Fundraising:
- In the spirit of the holidays and paddlers contributing to our community, please consider bringing new or used (in good condition) paddle clothing (PFDs, rash guards, neoprene clothing, splash jackets, dry tops) that will be used in Kayak New Mexico 501(c)3's programs. For tax deduction purposes, please securely attach your name and email to your donation and Jane can follow-up with a receipt. If you have a boat or paddle you would like to donate, please bring a piece of paper with the information and your contact information as we will not have the ability to transport boats or paddles after the event.
- Bart Harvey has created beautiful kayak and other river related holiday ornaments which will be available for sale for $10 each. He and his family are generously donating a number of ornaments to Kayak New Mexico 501(c)3 for free and will be donating $3 for each of the ones sold at the holiday party to the Adobe Whitewater Club of New Mexico to invest in our community next year.
- Barb Deshler and Susann Nutter have generously donated their time to revitalize the Adobe Whitewater Club's logo. T-shirts will be sold for $15 each, hats for $20 each, and stickers for $1 each. A small proceed from each sale will be used toward scholarships for our most active members to attend an ACA Kayak Instructor Certification next year, that will be co-sponsored by the ACA and AWC an held in New Mexico.
This invitation will be shared with all paddling organizations located throughout New Mexico. We are excited to welcome anyone who shares a love of the water and hope you will attend. Please RSVP via Facebook or meet-up, if you are able, to help us with preparations.
We look forward to seeing you!
Paddle on!
