      MWA has offered 2 scholarships per year to the clinic for anyone in TRR interested. I’d like to see that continue . I really like the reimbursement program we have to help reimburse for expensive ACA classes, providing that participant teaches or serves as a safety boater. I think a fleet of cheap/free duckys would be great if there is storage and a procedure for checking them out. Some of the boats used in the classes At Melville HS are pretty beat up, and maybe better used ones could be obtained. But must be left in pool or have some way of guaranteeing their return if taken out of the pool. TRR lost boats that way . I would like to see better cooperation with St Louis Canoe Kayak Club. So many of our current and past members came from SLCKC. ( I’m the main recruiter ). A few have MWA members have paddled with SLCKC. I always recommend that newbees don’t wait for the day of the clinic for their first paddle, as you never know what conditions it will be that day. I suggest they get on the water , asking for support of MWA members on a good water, weather day , if they have the chance. Many of us have been open to helping others do an informal mini clinic , prior to our official clinic . Our picnic this year was a lot of fun, following the guidelines Jerry mentioned. We had too much food, but it was shared by all who wanted it. I really enjoy being a member of MWA and $15 is a small price to pay. So many new energetic paddlers have joined last few years, largely because of the pool classes offered. This is a very positive direction. Kathy Pszonka

      The highest I’ve ever boated the upper was 37”. I get out at Fisherman’s, because I don’t have to worry about getting swept down, trying to catch that take out at Millstream. Perhaps that could be an option.

      Very nice time, especially floating down the Sinking Creek which was so clear. Hopefully more attend next year. Great BBQ. Thanks John for organizing it.  Kathy P

      <p style=”text-align: left;”>I stand corrected. No $20 fee for SLCKC clinic.  Totally free to MWA members</p>

      Yes. If you belong to either club, you can become a member of the other for free. If you want to to the SLCKC one day clinic, it is free with a $20 paid membership of SLCKC. The $20 is good for a whole family membership. If not doing the clinic and just want to join our paddles no fees except ACA insurance if you’re not a member of ACA. When the Saint dries up, you still can get out and paddle.

      People in your neck of the woods take their land rights pretty seriously. We weren’t there long and they could see we had little kids with us. We had to put safety first.
