To all Great Rivers Chapter members,
I hope all of you are having a good summer and have been able to get out and paddle. The summer is half over as is the Great Rivers Chapter paddling events. Below is the next event coming up in two weeks. We hope to see you there. I need a count for the brunch on Sunday August first. Please RSVP by July 28th if you plan to attend. I will make reservations for the group if we have more than six to ten people. I would also like to know by then if you plan to attend the Rock River Canoe Company on Saturday. For more information contact me.
Thank you,
Gene Ott, Treasurer Great Rivers Chapter WCHA
