Meetings
Some 50 to 75 active river rats meet at 7pm on the second Wednesday of each month at the Bayland Community Center, 6400 Bissonnet Street, Houston, Texas 77074. The meeting is run by volunteers who stumble through an agenda composed of stories of recent trips, descriptions of upcoming trips, paddling related programs, paddling tips, and the introduction of visitors. Gear heads prevail and discussions about all aspects of paddling assure an all around good time. Visitors are very welcome.
To participate in a meeting or to suggest a program speaker or anything else, send details to HCC's Vice Commodore. A link to HCC's Vice Commodore is on the Officer's page.
