Reminder - Important 2011 Date

Reminder:

Plan to attend the 2011 ACA National Paddlesports Conference!

• Date: September 30 - October 2, 2011


• Location: Lousiville, KY


• Conference Facility: The Galt House


• Paddling Opportunities: more than you would expect!


• Local Sponsors: The Viking Canoe Club - River City Canoe & Kayak - 21st Century Parks

Louisville, the possibility city, provides an ideal backdrop for the ACA annual conference. The proximity of the hotel to all that downtown Louisville has to offer as well as being a rope throw's distance to the river (both whitewater & flatwater) will make for great event.

Mark your calendars for September 30 - October 2 and plan to join the ACA in Louisville, KY!
