To Whitewater Team alumni and friends,

I propose that we start up an alumni association.

I would like to have more input before we try to decide on rules and procedures,
but here
are my suggestions:

1) Anyone can join. Once we get official, we might have to split members into
voting and
non-voting, with the team alumni (coaches and managers included) being the
voting
members, but we can deal with that down the line.

2) No fees. This is like your high school or college alumni association: if
you're a
graduate, you're already a member. Non-alums simply have to ask to join.

3) The association has three basic goals: to foster contact among alumni, to
promote the
sport, and to support the current team. Our first step is probably to get an
email
newsletter going, and share news.

4) There have been two suggestions for names: US Whitewater Alumni, (USWA), or
Whitewater Team Alumni and Friends (WTAF). We could combine these: US
Whitewater
Alumni and Friends (USWAF), or US Whitewater Team Alumni and Friends (USWTAF).
I'd
like to have Canadian members, but when we get to supporting the team, it's
probably too
complicated to support the teams of both countries, so in that sense this is a
US
association. Thoughts on this welcome.

5) I think that we should probably apply for non-profit status, which will
unfortunately
mean jumping through certain legal hoops.

The first step is to get the word out, and compile contact emails, addresses,
and phone
numbers. Below is a partial listing of team alumni. The Slalom list is pretty
close to being
complete, thanks to a very cool German website, <http://slalom.flechtner.de/
index.html>. The Wildwater list is quite incomplete, as it is cobbled together
from The
River Masters, a few old programs, and an email or two. Please, please don't be
insulted if
you're a team alum and not on the list; this is just a start. I'm sure typos
and such have
crept in too. An asterisk before a name indicates that I already have complete
contact info
for that person.

So, step one, please send me your complete contact info: name, address, email,
phone.
The address and phone will not be made public, but the email address will,
unless you tell
me otherwise. Also, please pass this along to other team alums, and/or send me
their
contact info.

I think we can have fun with this. I hope you agree.

Cheers, Jamie
