Hello Paddlers!
With the current lack of snow I turn my thoughts to the upcoming paddle season. I would once again like to offer the opportunity to folks in the community to help set the schedule for the 2012 Middlebury Paddle Club season. Please bring your ideas for classes and or paddles you would like to see as well as locations for an overnight paddle trip. If you cannot make to the meeting please email me at info@mmvt.com or call the shop 802-388-7245.

Hope to see you on the water - Steven
