Join Snookie’s Welcome Home Flotilla!
For the last few weeks, we have all been asking “Where in the World is Snookie?” and
while the answer may have changed often we know for sure where she will be on May
30th- SHE IS COMING HOME!!! “Thank You” to all of you who have contributed to her
Paddle for Discovery and the donations are still coming in.
Snookie plans to be paddling to the Marine Discovery Center dock during the late
morning of Sunday May 30th .and we would like to make her arrival a special
occasion.
We invite those of you who have kayaks to join her in the final few miles. There
are suggested locations: :
1.. She will be leaving Menard-May Park, Riverside Drive, Edgewater at 10 a.m.
There is space there to launch kayaks. This is approximately a 1 hour and 15
minute paddle to the MDC. Please be there at least 15 minutes beforehand.
2.. If the above is more strenuous than you care to do, then come to the Marine
Discovery Center at 162 North Causeway and paddle out to meet up with her as she
reaches the final stretch. I would suggest you be here by 10:30 am.
3.. As she comes in sight of MDC the Water Taxi will go out to lead and her
“flotilla” home. There will probably be a few empty seats available on the
taxi.
4.. If you prefer to stay land based, please feel free to join us at the MDC dock
to cheer her in as she nears the end of her adventure.
Please join us it should be fun.

We are all pepairing for your final paddle down the home stretch snookie. I here the tide will be against you and the wind also. I regret i can not join you on the final miles in my kayak but it is my hope that all your local angels will surround your little minnow and push you that final 2 miles home to all of us waiting. With all you have done this past month you should be able to “float” home without breaking a sweat and I think your friends would like to make that happen. THank you for reminding all of us of the beauty we so often take for granted. Your river angels are all around all of us each and every day and you have taught us how to bring out the love in those we meet along our daily treck. So often we forget to lift our head up and just look around. The beauty, the kindness, the trust is all there for us to see if we only choose to slow down and see something new each and every day. Thanks for being you Snookie, Bless you and welcome home. kim
