Greenland paddling instruction will be provided by Douglas Van Doren.  Douglas
Van Doren is one of the country's top Greenland Paddle instructors,  and he
will be attending our Corpus Christi Paddlefest Oct 29-31, 2010.  We are
really lucky to get that kind of instruction for our Paddlefest.  For more

Doug will be teaching 6 classes:  one each morning (2-3 hours) and one each
afternoon (2-3 hours) during  the three days of Paddlefest.  Each group
classes will cost $20.  But here is the good part.  If you sign up and pay
your fee prior to October 1, 2010,  you will get a 50% discount on the
fee....making  the class cost only $10 each.  Morning classes will be the
basics, and afternoon classes will be on-the-water trip instruction during our
tours for those signed up to paddle with Doug.  Early sign-up insures your
name will be first on  the list for each class.  Send checks made out to
Kenneth W. Johnson  and  will forward the $$ to Doug prior to Paddlefest for
him  to use to cover his travel expenses.

Please sign up early and indicate which of the 6 classes you would like to
take.  This will allow us to plan for the classes and make  sure everyone who
is interested is accommodated.

So far these are the individuals who have indicated  they want Greenland
instruction:
