We had a truly wonderful evening in Central Lake connecting with our Sustainer Circle and Wellspring Donors and friends—what an incredible group of people who help sustain our mission all year long! Huge thanks to Mammoth Distilling for generously hosting us in their gorgeous Central Lake location and crafting stunning West Bay cocktails for our guests. We’re also so grateful to Pearl's New Orleans Kitchen for the delicious appetizers and to Ruthann's Gourmet Bakery & Coffeehouse for the melt-in-your-mouth homemade chocolate cookies. Our Sustainer Circle and Wellspring Donors provide regular, ongoing support that helps us plan ahead and make a lasting impact. Thank you for being part of our paddling community and for believing in our mission to Protect, Connect, and Educate. (fb)

Deana joined Good Day Northern Michigan on 9&10 News yesterday to share all about our upcoming Pure Michigan Water Trail Celebration Paddle this Saturday, May 31, in Bellaire! We can’t wait to hit the water and connect with paddlers from near and far. After the paddle, we’ll gather at Short’s Brewing Company’s Beer Garden in downtown Bellaire to raise a glass and celebrate together. 🍻 Join us for one or both parts of this special day!
