2026 Annual Meeting
We are excited to announce that the NEWP, Inc. 2026 Annual Meeting will be held at The Tarlton Theatre at 405 W. Walnut Street in downtown Green Bay on November 22, 2026!
We are thrilled to offer great presentation featuring NEWP members and their unique 2026 adventure. Here’s a hint of what’s to come – more details to follow:
Circumnavigating Door Couty – Josiah Lent
In 2026, NEWP member Josiah Lent set out to do what few paddlers attempt: paddle all the way around the Door County peninsula. From the sheltered bays of Green Bay to the open, often unforgiving waters of Lake Michigan, and through the notorious Death’s Door passage at the peninsula’s tip, Josiah’s journey covered some of the most beautiful and challenging paddling in our own backyard. Join him for the story of the trip: the planning, the conditions, the shoreline, and the lessons learned along the way.
What we have planned for the 2027 Annual Meeting…
Our featured presentation for next year will be Rafting vs. Kayaking the Grand Canyon – Scott Thomson, Joanne Gorski, Sandy Oliver and Ken Braband
Four NEWP members, two trips, two very different ways down the Colorado River. In 2026, Scott, Joanne and Sandy rafted the Grand Canyon while Ken took on the canyon by kayak. Together they’ll compare their adventures side by side: big rapids, towering canyon walls, life on the river, and what each style of travel has to offer.
The annual NEWP membership meeting will begin with an overview of NEWP’s 2026 activities, election of our 2027 officers, and a preview of our upcoming activities followed by our feature presentation dinner. (Not to mention plenty of time to make paddle plans with your old and new paddle buddies!)
