We had a great 2018 Season!
2018 was a great year for the GlenLakes Kayak club. Yes, we had to cancel a
couple of paddles due to adverse weather conditions, but that is expected. It is
changed for the better versus to not cancel, drive to the launch site and then
had to cancel. Worse is to not cancel being on the water and experience unsafe
did cancel were rescheduled at a later date and we had a great time.
On Friday November 2nd over forty members of the GLKC gathered in the
upstairs bar area of the Clubhouse to eat, drink and enjoy the unique fellowship
with a fabulous "Paddles Past" slideshow put together by Betty Provost and Lilly
We also had a very informative group discussion about what types of paddles
the GLKC Board should consider for next year. Please refer to the side panel for
some of the ideas discussed.
Note: the GLKC Editorial Staff is taking the month of January off. The next GLKC
article will appear in the February issue.
The next membership meeting will be Thursday March 7th at 4pm in the upstairs
area of the clubhouse.
