                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The AMC Boston Paddling Committee is organized under the AMC's volunteer leadership program. We exist to offer trips to AMC members and the general public through the AMC and<span> </span><em><span>under AMC guidelines and rules</span></em>, including a requirement to list trips in the AMC's activity database and register participants under an AMC waiver.</p>
<p>Because of these requirements,<span> </span><span style="color: #ff0000"><strong>we cannot support or allow members to organize ad-hoc trips through our community forums</strong></span>. Posts suggesting meet-ups or last-minute paddles will be removed by our moderators.</p>
<p>This forum has been created to let our members and friends suggest trip ideas that can be run as AMC-led trips with leaders from the AMC Boston Paddling Committee. We encourage you to suggest destinations, celebrations, community outreach activities, or anything else you would like our committee to support.</p>
<p>If you feel you have the skills to organize and lead trips, we encourage you to explore becoming a trip leader with the AMC Boston Paddling Committee. Please reach out to us at <a href="mailto:volunteer@amcbostonpaddlers.org" target="true">volunteer@amcbostonpaddlers.org</a>. We will be happy to discuss leadership opportunities with you.</p>
<p>We encourage our members to get outdoors and enjoy our waters - whether on their own or on AMC-led trips. But we would ask that you look to MeetUp, Facebook or other forums to organize trips with your paddling friends.</p>
<p>Thanks for your understanding on this!</p>]]></content:encoded>
