Well, we completed yet another training weekend to get us off to a roaring start of our 2009 season. I again would like to thank all the numerous instructors for their amazing performance this April! The new format of training was very well received and that is, in no small part, due to the teaching that our instructors delivered. Their hard work and preparation is a tribute to our organization. I was most pleased to see how the more intimate learning environments allowed for increased individual participation. That was the intent, and I think it worked! Of course, there were many other supports that made the weekend run well – MaryK for our lunch, the veteran members who were recruited to provide safety, and of course my command staff (Joel, Donna, June, Hal, Crash, and Bill W.) whom I could always depend on! I know there must be others I am forgetting, because it takes an incredible (and large) team to pull off that annual event and we have been very fortunate to have so many people willing to step up to the plate. I again want to thank you and Bill Walters for allowing me to be your training director for these past five years. I have only unofficially passed the baton, but I believe my successor will bring new and exciting ideas to our future training weekends, and I look forward to being a part of them! Sincerely, Megan Duffy Training Director, National Canoe Safety Patrol UDC Inc. |
