Rotarians from the Norfolk and Portsmouth clubs on June 26 sent new instructor kayaks at Paradise Creek Nature Park on their inaugural paddle through restored wetlands in the new Portsmouth park created by the Elizabeth River Project in what had been an area of mud flats and a trash dump. A $10,000 Rotary District 7600 grant helped pay for the clear-bottom kayaks as well as educational programs and equipment on the Elizabeth River Project's Learning Barge. The grant was supplemented by $2,500 in grants from the Norfolk and Portsmouth clubs, which won the district grant. Pictured are Sally Hartman, outgoing Norfolk president, and Skip Fremd, outgoing Portsmouth president, who christened the new kayaks.
