You can click on that event to add a comment there or click on the Lake Norman group and add a comment there. Will you be able to attend the picnic on Saturday or the full moon paddle Friday night?
Hey, Mary. Welcome aboard! You probably received my e-mail last night about the events coming up. Take a look and let me know if you'll be able to attend any of them. Hope to see you soon!
