🎉 Adventure Weekend Alert! 🎉
Hey everyone! I'm heading up to Leavenworth for an epic weekend of white water rafting—and you’re invited! This is a multi-meetup adventure, so come join the fun!

Or, if you're just in it for the splash, come up Saturday and jump in for the rafting action!
Never been rafting before? No worries—it's beginner-friendly and a total blast! You’ll be with a pro guide the whole time, and it’s the perfect way to try something new with a great group.
But there's more...
