50th Anniversary Membership Appreciation Tour

AW is proud to celebrate its 50^th anniversary of protecting and restoring America’s rivers.  This special year for AW will be packed with festivities in a variety of forms including a membership appreciation tour. The largest and most essential group of people to thank is each and every one of our generous members.  It is your membership fees that allow AW to carry on its mission and work.

Throughout the entire 2004 boating season AW volunteers and staff will be setting up booths at local whitewater festivals.  Each stop of the tour AW will feature a hospitality tent designed to express our gratitude for your support during our first 50 years of creating a whitewater legacy. 

 

All you need to do is stop by any AW hospitality tent, show your AW membership card (coming later this spring) and let our volunteers pamper you.  Each hospitality tent will be unique from the others but all will involve free stuff and fellowship.  Come by and learn about all the great work you help support.

The first membership appreciation tour booth will be on February 28th at the National Paddling Film Festival in Lexington, Kentucky. Stop by the AW booth at NPFF for: Name that Rapid Contest Purchase NEW AW merchandise Access/conservation updates Signup or Renew Your AW membership
