The WKC board of directors meets virtually the third Thursday of each month, with a break June thru August. If you are interested in serving on the board, attending a meeting, or propose business for a board meeting, please contact the secretary or any member of the board. If you are interested in reading minutes of board meetings, log in and go to club info/documents/paddle board/minutes.

Who is on the board? They are regular club members, often leaders, who are willing to serve by attending meetings. The president is generally a board member who steps forward when asked, or at least someone who did not step back. We will find a place for anyone who wants to do something for the club, whatever their talents and interests. If we ever have more candidates than space on the board, we will hold elections where all members can vote, but right now there is plenty of room.

Cancelled for the lack of interest. Might try again in a couple weeks...

(Let‘s get together to practice rescue skills! This is _not_ a class and there will be _no formal instruction_. Bring your own knowledge and experience to share and as a group we‘ll make it as safe as possible for all participants.
Depending on the group we might practice:
- boat-based rescuing of a swimmer and their gear
- swimming for self-rescue and/or live-bait swimming
- rope-assisted rescues
- knots and how to use the un-pin kit
- wading
Challenge by choice!

Meet at the Tokul Creek take-out at 4pm. Dress for swimming.)
