[Awclist] Exciting community paddle related events

[Sonora Jo]

Greetings Adobe Members! The Adobe Whitewater Club board and membership committee have
a number of exciting things in the works including fascinating monthly meeting
presentations, pool sessions, and more. 
We look forward to sharing this information with you soon.  

 I’d like to take the opportunity to share some community events
of potential interest to our membership, many of which were mentioned at our
membership meeting/ learning presentation earlier this week.  Please note that as these are being sponsored
by other local organizations in New Mexico, you will need to follow up as
indicated if you are interested in participating. Please be sure to follow up
as required by the sponsoring organization.
