January 2024 HCKC Newsletter
 

Happy New Year Hoosier Paddlers!

Maybe you've noticed, or maybe not. But, we've launched a new newsletter format. Our goal was simple, keep it short and make it easier for you to read whether you're on a computer, tablet, or cell phone.  

2023 was a great year for the club! Here's a quick recap. 

60 Year Anniversary! In November, we celebrated 60 years of serving the Hoosier paddling community. Thank you to those who joined us for this major milestone. 

Name Change: We made the decision to formally and legally become the Hoosier Canoe and Kayak Club which meant dissolving Hoosier Canoe Club. This change has no impact on our mission or members. It was a formality. 

Updated Bylaws: As part of the process, we have updated our bylaws to align with our new name, mission, vision, operations, and commitment to members.

Increased Membership: We started 2023 with 321 and ended by adding 22 new members. To that we say, WELCOME!
