Week of Rivers Firsts 2013
This list is partially transposed from soggy papers from the wettest WOR on record, from many emails and Facebook messages. All errors herein are probably due to Cruise Chair. Thanks to Bill Dement and Marlow Durbin who helped read wet and runny hieroglyphics and to Sarah Ruhlen for her editing and remarks. Happy Memories and Happy Reading All! Joan Monnig, Cruise Chair

Jackson Fun Runner at WOR
Jackson Kayak has stepped forward to sponsor Week of Rivers 2013 by donating a Fun Runner for give-away to some lucky WOR participant. Wanna win a Jackson Fun Runner? You may purchase a raffle chance for $5 each at morning meetings during Week of Rivers 2013 beginning June 29th. Raffle proceeds will be used towards CCC conservation efforts on our local waterways.
One of the top recommendations for beginner-intermediate paddlers, the Jackson Fun Runner strikes the perfect balance between river runner forgiveness and playability. It’s easy to roll, stable, fast and carvy, and it has that excellently comfortable Jackson outfitting.
The Fun Runner drawing will take place on Saturday morning, July 6, and the winner will get to choose which size Jackson Fun Runner s/he wants. The Fun Runner will be delivered to Nantahala Outdoor Center store to be picked up, run the Nanty and then take it home!
Raffle chances will only be sold during the Week of Rivers morning meetings. Winner need not be present on Saturday July 6th during the drawing to win. Winner is requested to please share a photo of themselves on a river in their new Fun Runner with Jackson Kayak and Carolina Canoe Club.

WOR Early Departures
If you are hoping to organize a trip that leaves before the 8:30 morning meeting, you can post this on the bulletin board at the tent as an Early Departure trip. This is helpful for rivers like the Upper Green that have limited release windows, or those that require a bit more driving.
Posting of Early Departure (ED) trips should include the following information:
Week of Rivers Clinics
Week of Rivers Clinics have been updated. This year's selection of clinics has something for everyone. Check it out!
Intermediate/Advanced Single Blade Clinic
Wanna "shred like the big dogs?" Then join, Wayne Dickert for an Intermendiate/Advanced single blade clinic on the Nantahala River. While Wayner is donating his time and this clinic is free to CCC members, we would much appreciate if participants would make a donation for clean water in Haiti. Details can be found here
