August 10th at 10 am we plan to have a canoeing/paddling excursion for our members, families and friends down the Wisconsin River. We will start from the Blackhawk River Run canoe rental and public boat launch site on Highway Y a few miles southwest of Sauk City. You can bring your own canoe or rent one from the canoe rental site. We plan to have a picnic for all participant on a sandbank around noon (TBD) and you can return from Arena either at 3 pm or 5 pm.
We need everybody to sign up and pay August 2nd. You can either sign up at our meetings or e-mail Svein Morner at smorner@sustaineng.com
The cost for the canoeing will be as follows:
Rental Canoe inc. picnic: $25 per adult (2 per canoe)
$5 per child (in canoe with adults)
$10 per adult in canoe with 2 other adults (or with own canoe)
You can also arrange with the canoe rental to pick up your canoe ($20 per canoe) or to drive your car down ($20 per car) if you so wish.
The next board meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 15th at 7:00 a.m. at 901 Deming way, Suite 201 (Sustainable Engineering Groups offices). The office is on the second floor directly facing the stairs and almost directly across from the elevator. The meeting room is just inside the entrance.
Directions: 901 Deming way is close to Old Sauk Rd just outside the beltline. If you are coming from the beltline, take a right on Heartland trail (about 0.5 miles from the beltline), then a left onto Deming way and 901 Deming way is the second driveway on your right. Let me know if you have any questions about how to get there or anything else.
