CCA Holiday Party, Swap Meet and Potluck Social
Bring a dish to share.
Bring your gear to swap or sell.
Bring your friends and family.
All are welcome.
As we celebrate CCA’s 70th anniversary, what better time to explore our roots. And we are fortunate that a talented film-making CCA member documented the sport as it was in our founding era. The film is titled “Give Us A River.” Every paddler should view this. So see you there. Note that this will be screened at Clara Barton, not broadcast on Zoom. Apologies to our distant friends.

Call for future programs
We are always looking for new talent. We are always looking for ideas. If you take pictures or videos and would like to share them, do not be shy. It can be distant locales or you local favorites. If you have a talent to share, then teach us. If you want to share an alternate outdoor sport (like hiking, backpacking, caving) we would enjoy that too. The program chair would like to hear from you (e_gertler@yahoo.com, 301-585-4381). I eagerly await.
