Club Presidents' Comment

President's Message

The TBSK Board's new goals for 2012 include a continuing commitment to training and safety. We plan to offer more on-water classes and training in navigation, rules of the water, and other boating safety subjects. We will train more trip leaders to add more paddling opportunities. Becoming a trip leader is an exciting and rewarding experience that benefit all of the members of TBSK. We encourage new members to get involved.

Our meeting this month at Bill Jackson's will feature a kayak rolling demonstration put on by some of our very own members. Please come out and cheer on Carl Boettger, Leon and Dennise Mathis, and Jean Totz as they demonstrate various methods of this important recovery technique.

Our monthly picnic will be at Fred Howard Park in Tarpon Springs. As always we will be offering paddle trips easy to advanced. New members, please come and be sure to introduce yourself.

This month and in the future, you will be presented with many opportunities to participate in TBSK.  Whether it be our monthly meetings, programs, picnics, training programs or paddling trips, please join in the fun.

- Jim
