hale Foundation
Hey everyone! It's getting to be that time of year again,
trips are winding down and we are all looking forward to fall and
winter. For some of us this can be the scariest run of all. We are
caught in that empty eddy void and post river season blues and there
is no way to get around it. We miss the place. Let's face it,
some of us can make that run just a little easier than others. If
you need a little help, talk to the Whaler: call 520/773-0773.
If you can help, send a donation to:
The Whale Foundation
c/o Bob Grusy
7890 S. Ave. Bonita
Tucson, AZ 85747
All donations are greatly appreciated and are going to a good cause.
Building strength in this community. Taking care of one another.
