[Cabs-talk] River Rafting

[JKTomasell at aol.com]

Hello:
 
    I know that the CABS river rafting trip happened a  week or so ago and 
it was a great success but I have not had the time to thank  everyone for 
the trip due to being ill since after the trip happened.  I  would like to 
take this time to thank those who were on the river rafting  committee and also 
those from the CABS board by assisting me to have the idea of  the river 
rafting trip come alive and actually happening this year.  There  was a lot of 
hard work and also obstacles to get everything finalized but we did  it and 
we went river rafting which was my main goal as chairperson the entire  
time for this year.  Thank you to those from Environmental Travel Companions 
who assisted in the trip with  their wonderful guides to guide us to have an 
awesome time on the river, and to  those who participated in this wonderful 
and awesome adventure of river rafting.  I hope that everyone who 
participated in the river rafting event had a  great time river rafting and that CABS 
can continue by having another river  rafting trip for next year and that 
more people can participate by going river  rafting.
 
CABS is producing their newsletter and their goal is to have it for their  
meeting at this year's state convention.  The CABS board would like to have  
an article and they want everyone's thoughts about the trip.  So, if anyone 
 from either CABS and/or from the affiliate who participated in this year's 
 awesome river rafting trip would like to give some of their thoughts about 
the  trip to assist so I can create one creative and great article about 
the river  rafting trip I would appreciate it.  Please send your thoughts 
about the  river rafting trip to my email address which is _jktomasell at aol.com_ 
(mailto:jktomasell at aol.com) .  The CABS board  needs me to send the article 
by the middle/end of September.  Maybe it can  also be a great addition of 
an article for the affiliate journal also.   Since the river rafting trip was 
a student event it should be in their  newsletter first.  Again, thank you 
to those who wanted and had a great  time flying through those wild and 
crazy class two and three rapids of the South  Fork portion of the American 
River.  I know that I had a great time  roughing through those cold rapids.
 
Sincerely,
Jaime Tomasello, Chairperson of the 2009 CABS river rafting  trip
