The Atlanta Whitewater Club (AWC) welcomes all levels of paddlers, from newbies to the very experienced. Our members are kayakers, canoeists, and rafters. Some members have been involved for ten or more years and have paddled since the 70's, and many others have recently taken up the sport or recently joined the club.

Be sure to check out the Events page for information on meetings, river trips, and other events. AWC membership is not required to participate in AWC events, however we hope you will consider supporting the club by joining. Our members' dues go directly toward the many events that are offered throughout the year, such as monthly meetings, picnics, and the annual End-of-the-Year Awards Banquet. There are many benefits to AWC membership, such as outfitter discounts, discount on American Whitewater membership, winter roll practice, AWC paraphernalia, and, of course, fun times both on and off the river.

If you would like to get involved and give your time and energy to the club, or if you would like a no-pressure way to meet other boaters, we have a great opportunity for you! We are an all-volunteer organization and often need help to make all our events happen. Current volunteer needs are listed in the Get Involved page, so sign up or let me know if you would like to help.

We have some exciting events planned for 2008 and are adding these to the site every day, so keep checking back! We hope you will join us at an event very soon.

See you on the river!

Cheers,
Amanda Gettler
2008 AWC President
