2011 Kayaker of the Year

Congratulations to Bill Russell, the 2011 Peninsula Paddlers' Kayaker of the Year.

In 2008, club member Judy Luffman, donated a beautiful award to be presented annually to the club member who embodies the spirit of the club. The initial recipient of the award was John Wolfenberg. In subsequent years, each fall a call for nominations is sent to all club members. Once the nominations are closed, club members are asked to vote for the person that they believe is most deserving. The Kayaker of the Year Award is presented to the selected member at the club's year end social.

The following are the criteria for nominating a member for this special award.

• The kayaker must be a current member (2 years plus)
• The person will represent the spirit of the Club ie,
  • Welcoming all new members
  • Helpful in making paddle/trips successful
  • Leading in helping others
  • Regularly participating in club events - not only paddles, but organizing and/or hosting club activities
  • Volunteering - giving freely of their time, energy and expertise (not necessarily at the forefront).
