Mallory Family Presentation on Climbing Everest at WCA Nov 8th.
The Wilderness Canoe Association has a grreat speaker lined up for their annual wine and cheese gathering on November 8. Check it out.
The WCA Fall (Wine and Cheese) Party is a great time to meet old canoeing friends and make new ones. If you are new to the club, or not so new, and even if you are not a member, this party is for you. You can find out who belongs to the WCA, what the club is all about, chat to other members about recent outings, and get new ideas and tips for planning future trips. This year we have something very different for you: A presentation by Dan Mallory, who fulfilled a dream this May and climbed Mt. Everest with his three children. He will talk to us about his experiences in preparing for this and the lessons he and his family learned from it, and share pictures of his climb. You can find out more about him and his family and the work they do in inspiring and encouraging young people to maximize their potential and to reach their dreams from his website: www.malloryexpedition.com. We expect this to be a very popular evening. However, since the venue only takes 100 people, make sure you register no later then 25th October! Cancellation fee of $15 per person applies 2 weeks prior to the event. Let us know as soon as possible that you will be coming. It will be a case of 'first come, first served', with priority given to members. If you are not yet a member - and this applies to guests of members - you can guarantee a place by sending in your application , (see http://www.wildernesscanoe.ca/join.htm) and cheque .
