Paddlers Club Meeting, June 18

The Housatonic Valley Paddlers Club will hold its next meeting on Wednesday, June 18. The meeting will begin at 7 pm and will be at the CL&P Newtown Service Center, on Barnabas Road. Nonmembers are welcome.

On the agenda is a discussion of how best to use the club’s website and planning a calendar of events. Guest speaker will be Bob Keller, from The Trading Post in New Milford.

Housatonic Valley Paddlers Club is made up of people who enjoy navigating kayaks, canoes, and other human-powered craft over the waterways of the Housatonic River Valley and its watershed, from its headwaters in the Berkshires to its mouth at the Long Island Sound. “Some are in peak physical condition, and others aren’t … [but] all of us have a healthy respect for the river and hope to contribute to its stewardship,” according to the club’s website. The club was formed last summer.
