Heroes on the Water NWest Chapter (WA)

Don't have much in extra supplies but have two SOT's and the equipment to go along. One of them is extra stable and can be used for wheelchair accessability. Give me a call anytime to help with HOW.

Dino, All
Good luck.
If i have more than the very few days between returning from present trip and leaving for next that i think i will have, will raid my storage for items to donate.

Am willing to loan the program a very under used i9s if you want it.

Way to go Dino, I tried to contact them this summer to get them involved in Bass tourney, but never heard back from them.  Besides my time and a few fishing rods I can let folks use, I don't have much I can donate, but I will see what I can do through Next Adventure.  Once things get up and running let me know and we can try to get them involved in the Next Adventure tournaments.

I never heard back from anybody either. If any events go down in OR, I'd be happy to volunteer in any capacity. I make a mean sandwich.

I would like to help too, PM sent.

I think it would be good to clarify the location of the two chapters being discussed in this thread: I believe one is in the Seattle area, the one I'm working on is Portland based.

Hope to have more info next week if not sooner. The PDX one is affiliated with the local Disabled American Veterans, not sure exactly how. There may be a get together next month to kick things off.

If Next Adventure could donate some used gear would be really helpful. Its a tax write off.

Being a post Vietnam Vet myself, 4 years of Tin Cans in the Navy. Anything I can do to help our Vet's, I will. I don't have much extra gear but I will look and see what I have. I think I do have a XL pfd I am not using, Ill check. Also being a Firefighter/EMT if I can help at an event in a medical capacity just let me know.

I've heard that about you Ling Banger  (Comeon Bro, you had to know that one was coming from somebody)

And you got it Aytch, glad to help as I can.

Just curious on the status of HOW.  Are there any events coming up?  I would like to assist if help is needed.

I'm meeting with the guys at the VA this week, one of my buddies works with PTSD vets up there. I was hoping to have an event set up for this weekend but it looks like it'll be the following weekend. I'll ask polepole if he can create a forum designated for HOW NWest. I also started a facebook page and will get a link set up although there is nothing on it yet since we are just getting started.

Thanks for the update. I think it will be a lot of fun.

Way to go Dino. I just got the green light from HOW for the Portland Chapter to launch. I'll post details separately. Happy to receive any advice on getting up and running from your experiences.

Dino,  I am helping IslandHoppa down here in Portland and am thinking, since we are all on the learning curve, that we might join forces to get each group started up.  If you need help at your events please call, Once there I can watch how you set up the day and such. Take notes and help out where I can. 

Wobbler, (Steve)

I know nothing about Heroes on the water... Where do you get more info... is it similar to the Wounded Warriors project? Besides running a Hobie shop I am also a rec. therapist/rehab counselor and my program is featured on the New Paralyzed Vets of America sports video and via other sources... check it out at www.funtosail.com and click on DISABLED tab... watch the first two videos on this page. First video is of me and my friend with a disAbility on a Tandem Island, second email shows a Hobie Adventure Island and Hobie 16 Trapseat at about the 19:40 mark.
