What a nice but warm day we had for the club picnic.
A big thank you goes to Mark & Jodi for all there work on putting together a great picnic and to others for there help and supplies
We had 20 members show up for a nice meal and a good meeting with some great discussion about club trips and money. Also elected three new trustees with different terms to rotate one a year. (Will put in a newsletter once I get the minutes from Betka)
With the warmer than usual weather we decided to paddle the 3.5 mile trip Swift Park to Canoe City instead of the 6 mile trip down to Packard Park. We had 13 paddlers (12 Kayaks and 1 Canoe) make the voyage down the Mahoning. Many of us stayed cool with some good splashing and water gun fights.

One home owner has made it clear he wants the Leavittsburg Dam to stay with a sign saying "save our river, keep the dam". Found that to be interesting.

After the paddle a small group stayed and enjoyed good conversations and story's of paddles past and how ray novotny almost got Sue Ramdin kill, but she said it was exhilarating!!!

We had thunderstorms roll in that made us pack up and head home. It was a fun and enjoyable day with great friends and family.
