Auction for access River running

Easier access to the Spokane River near Sullivan Road is the goal of a fund-raising auction Friday.

The Spokane Canoe & Kayak Club plans to donate proceeds from its annual Hearbreaker Auction and potluck dinner toward building a stair system at Sullivan Park. The stairs would make access easier for floaters to put-in and take-out on the steep, rocky hillside just downriver from the Sullivan Road bridge, said Linda Bise, club spokeswoman.

The club donated thousands of dollars from auctions in the past three years, not to mention many hours of volunteer labor this winter, to developing a river access site just below the T.J. Meenach Bridge.

Everyone is welcome to the potluck and auction, which begins at 6 p.m. Friday at the Corbin Community Center, 823 W. Cleveland.

The board meets quarterly in locations throughout the state to review and approve salmon recovery project proposals. The group also reviews and comments on the department’s policy and proposes new legislation to increase the effectiveness of the recovery programs.
