Good afternoon!
                My name is Michelle Mathieu, and I am the Outdoor Discovery Schools Department Manager at the South Barrington, LL Bean.  I administrate the kayaking and snowshoeing programming for our store, as well as the community outreach and community service.  I am reaching out to the local newspapers and event organizations in an effort to increase the local awareness of our Discovery Schools programming that we do from our store. 
                We have our Kayaking Discovery Courses going on this weekend from Voyagers Landing, 3 sessions on Saturday (9:30, 12:00, and 2:30) and 2 sessions on Sunday (10:00 & 12:30)!  We still have room in each session, and participation is only $20 a person!  Minimum age is 8 years old, and beginners are encouraged!  Call the store to sign up, 888-552-5548, and we'll reserve your spot!
                LL Bean also offers free clinics in the store every Tuesday and Thursday, and free outings on the weekends for those of you who have the equipment, but are looking for a group to go out with!  Join us at http://camping.meetup.com/1046/
