SUMMARY:May Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:We will again be meeting at our new location: Longview Farms in Town and Country.  (The address is 13525 Clayton Rd\, St. Louis\, MO 63141.)  Rich Orr will be giving a presentation on Hidden Paddling Gems in Missouri… rivers that many paddlers aren’t aware of or haven’t been on but are great rivers to paddle. Rich is known to many in the paddling community because of his knowledge and experience. \nThe St. Louis Canoe & Kayak Club holds an open monthly meeting on the first Thursday of every month\, with some exceptions: we are usually off in July\, we often hold a picnic in September\, and we hold a holiday party in December. Meetings are open to ALL\, whether you are a member\, joining us after a break\, or checking us out for the first time! See events calendar for upcoming meetings. \nThe meeting will start promptly at 6:30 pm and we will have time for socializing following the meeting agenda. If inclement weather or other circumstances prevent in-person meeting\, we will send out an email to members and hold the meeting via Zoom. \nMeetings can be accessed virtually by Zoom: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82042351004?pwd=WDR6b0tCWld4cGVTcHZxL08vd1FGZz09
