      I am a board member of G.T.E.A.T (Grand River Environmental Action Team great-mi.org). One of your pamphlets about the event in June was passed around at our meeting this evening. Thought I would check you out. Nice web page! Looks like a fun idea, I am looking forward to hearing more about the project and hoping to come do some paddling. We have monthly outings, mostly on the Grand and Kalamazoo rivers. Some of us are interested in a road trip and the few photos look rather inviting!

      The Michigan Paddling Council web site is open. Please submit your paddling club's information and paddling events to the web site for inclusion in the directory and calendar. Email them to Cal.

      Also, it would be good if at least one person from each club would join the MPC Facebook group.
