The FPRF will be holding this meeting to determine interest in forming a paddling club in the stateline region. There are over 565 registered canoes and kayaks in Stephenson County and over 5,500 in the (6) county region of Northwestern Illinois and at least 5,000 in the (6) county region of Southwestern Wisconsin.
Discussion will cover:
- Learning a "Lifetime Sport"

Please forward this to your paddling friends and those that may be interested in learning the benefits and recreational aspects of paddling.
