The Hudson River Watertrail Association

The spring meeting of the HRWA Board is slated for Saturday May 3rd at 11:30, Garrison NY. Location more specific than “the church” soon to be added.

I wanted to toss out a couple reasons how this blog-thing might be useful in case anybody is scratching their heads. Personally it’s all about permanence. About building a record that can last (assuming this time i successfully make backups). if anybody has a category or topic they’d like to see discussed i can create a “top level” page and then put content under that top level. One that comes to mind is boat building.

Another is regional reporting. I encourage folks at different parts of the river to submit stories or even shorter posts talking about what is going on in their areas. Obviously for call-to-action types of issues the email list would be more appropriate, but if people begin contributing here we can begin to build our history of the region and share it with others who might not care to subscribe to an email list.

I can create categories for different regions (or for any other purpose) and then content can be sorted by those categories. If even a small percentage of users submit content here we could grow this website into a useful tool that can bring attention to issues and will persist long after that email has been deleted.

We’re trying the “blog” format one more time.

All users who were registered before have been deleted (this is totally separate from the NYCKayaker email list). So… we invite you to register and post comments, stories, or ask questions.
