Much thanks to Tina, who has reached out to partner with The Whole Person’s Blindness Low Vision Experience, and we are pleased to join in spreading the word! The event will be held on Tuesday, September 5 from one until 6 PM.<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The lake is located just east of Lawrence off of The south side of K-10 on the west side of 1900 road about a quarter mile south of the highway. There will be transportation available from and returning to The Whole Person. From K-10, you will basically turn south on 1900 Road and go about a quarter mile and turn right onto a road that takes you to the lake. <o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">A Google map and waiver for all participants or guardians to sign will be sent to you when you RSVP.<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Please spread the word and let people know to RSVP to Sheila Styron or Tina Jinkens at 785-615-8373 or by email at <a href="mailto:tmjinkens@gmail.com" class="" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">tmjinkens@gmail.com</a>. The ski club can accommodate a range of 6 to 10 participants, maybe a few more, so it will be first come first serve. If you have someone younger than 12 in mind who is physically active and a go-getter, please let Tina know and she will speak with the club about it. We realize this is probably a school day, but youth who would like to participate can arrive at 4:30 or five and still get some skiing in. Youth must be accompanied by an adult.<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Both water skiing and tubing will be available. Participants can choose to ski off the side of the boat on a boom which makes it fairly easy to get up and experience skiing. Participants can also ski on a rope attached to the boom or on a full line at the back of the boat like usual waterskiing. Lifejackets are available, but people may wish to bring their own if they have one that fits well and is comfortable. Participants may also consider bringing a towel and a lawn chair. A dock is available where people can sit and dangle their feet in the water. Participants can also Wade beside the dock if they wish <o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">A shed is available that has some cover for shade for guide dogs if needed. Tina will be working on arrangements for pizza for participants and volunteers, and participants who would like pizza are welcome to bring five to $10 to contribute.<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">If you would like to make a donation for the pizza for volunteers, that would be much appreciated as well!<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Some of you may remember this event from around 10 years ago through Camp Fire USA’s Adventure Fitness, which experience was excellent and which we look forward to again being an awesome opportunity for fun in the sun in 2017!<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;
