Derk Slottow's Memorial plans

[CUkayakGirl]

Yes,
We are keeping it on Sat Aug. 1st since that is what Mary posted last week.

The float will start around 8PM...come a little earlier so we can time the float with the sunset.

Joe was unable to get a permit for the park, everything is already rented so we can not have a picnic or anything.

If people are interested Joe and I can talk to Woodies and see about getting the big room in the back after the float for some food and beers.

Just a heads up but the memorial acct has not hit the database at Wells Fargo yet so the teller will have to search for it but they are able to find the acct. Just fyi, it takes a while for them to find it, she thought this was because it was a new account.

If approached carefully, it could be win-win. If not, the ditch owner could shut down the proejct pretty fast. If this gets some momentum, I'd be glad to help with approaching the owners.

Sorry if this has been replied to already, but I think the diversion in question belongs to the Church Ditch co. (Are we talking about the low head 2 or 3 miles up CC?), I think Church ditch is related to the Church Ranch, who knows where the water is going now... but that ditch is currently full of h2o.

I read what happened and wanted to say my prayers are with Derk's family and friends. I googled his name and found some movies he made with his friends while paddling that I thought should not be forgotten.
