PROGRAM SUGGESTIONS:  please send Celia or Betsy (cc: above email heading)
BY JANUARY 10, 2014 or NOW or any other time as you think of it!

So we may plan the calendar 2014 for the year...

            Suggestions for topics, or rivers to be addressed 

            Volunteer to give a presentation - its just a river story around
the "campfire" and you have valuable info to share w/ others about your
trip!

We welcome your suggestions and offers to give a presentation short or long
and preferably w/ slides or visuals .

Two or more may present together!

 

These past few programs have had the Grand Canyon presented because it
worked out that way.

We have tried to bring you a variety of boating and rivers/water topics to
include all peoples interests.

Thanks for any in-put you may have!

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We hope to see you this next year.  As always you do not need to be a member
to come, volunteer, or present a program - bring a friend.
