At their 40th reunion\, they decided to write a book about this adventure and how it affected their liv es. The result is\, <\;em>\;From Chicken to Eagle: Seven Women Paddlin g Whitewater and Navigating Life<\;/em>\;\, being published in 2023.\n Copies of the book will be for sale - cash or checks only. \n<\;strong&g t\;About the memoir <\;/strong>\;: \n<\;em>\;"\;From Chicken t o Eagle <\;/em>\; was not just a river adventure the seven of us took in 1979 - it was the adventure of our lives! In our seven memoir chapters\ , we write about applying the lessons we learned on the river as we moved into new and unknown territory\, whether outdoors\, in our careers\, or ou r personal lives. As women nationwide were expanding their roles in societ y\, we grew stronger and more capable. If we had let society keep us confi ned to the roles of our mothers'\; generation\, we would not have this book today.\nUndertaking the writing of this memoir was another grand adve nture for all seven of us. Join us in exploring how outdoor adventure and working together can shape people�s lives."\;\n<\;strong>\;Contr ibuting Authors<\;/strong>\;:\n<\;strong>\;Kamala Bremer<\;/stro ng>\;: Kamala was region manager for a state agency that pioneered chang es to eldercare\, and later consulted with human service and community org anizations to develop and improve their programs.
