Powers' Point Paddling 9/11

[Dr. Steve Yaney]

The River Valley Chapter has completed the canoe access to the Arkansas River off of Clayton Expressway in Fort Smith, now known as Powers' Point. Much thanks to all that helped, especially Hannah Oil & Gas for donating work crew and heavy equipment as well as Arkhola Sand & Gravel for donating materials A few of us are going to paddle these calm backwaters on Tuesday Sep.11th (9/11). A calm peaceful paddle is an excellent way to remember the violence that took so many lives on 9/11/2001. Jason Gray has agreed to say a prayer for the victims and families as well as for PEACE. We invite all to join us at 6 PM. I will have the banner up for you to find the spot (it is 2.8 miles towards dowtown from Midland Ave.) however this is a non-ACC event, just a group of us Paddling for Peace! Come check it out!
