Joan Hutton AW volunteer of the month

Each fall and spring paddlers from around the country flock to the southeast for the opportunity to run the Tallulah River in northern .  Joan Hutton makes these Tallulah releases possible by working with local river clubs to organize amazing volunteers to help the park administer these releases.

Last fall Joan stepped forward to work with AW’s affiliate clubs in the Southeast to make sure that Tallulah Gorge State Park had the necessary manpower to run the recreational releases.  Each release day require about 15 people to volunteer their time so that boaters and other park attendees have a great day at the Tallulah.  Joan will be organizing volunteers for the 2006 releases and is American Whitewater’s April volunteer of the month.
