 APRIL 17, 2010: Gathering of the Crew
 & 10th Annual Menehune Surf Contest
 
Old Guys Just wanna have fun 09 Greetings!
Did you ever wonder about the "Gathering of the Crew" part of our contest title?  It pays homage to the early days of this contest which originated as an intraclub contest for members....we still like to get out there and compete against one another while we've got the beach and water setup for the day...so get on down to Dave's truck and pick up a member's application to participate in this fun portion of the contest just for you.  The fee is only $40 and yes, you get an awesome t-shirt and trophy for your efforts; more importantly you get bragging rights for your age division....  If you'd like an application via e-mail, give me a holler:  lorraine@ljssa.org

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:  PLEASE SIGN UP FOR  A JOB!
We depend on all of you to help us host a successful contest - we've still got work to be done, so consider volunteering.  Our next contest meeting is this WEDNESDAY, March 24, 6:30 p.m., at the La Jolla Recreation Center.  Our final volunteer meeting will be at the La Jolla Brewhouse, Thursday, April 15, at 6pm.  Celebrate finishing your taxes AND come gather at this final meeting of the judges and other volunteers.  The first round of beer is on us!  We use volunteers for everything - judging, tallying, registration, setup, cleanup, BBQ, raffle booth, and event promotion.   Please contact Stephanie Hoffman, Contest Director, or sign up for judging at Dave's truck:  stephanie@ljssa.org.

MANY THANKS TO OUR MAJOR SPONSORS!
We depend on our sponsors year after year to support this contest, and they do faithfully - donating surfboards, in kind prizes and gift certificates.  Their generosity allows us to donate our net event proceeds towards many worthy charitable causes, which you, as a member, vote on annually.  We're proud of this tradition, and grateful for our sponsors - so please support them and tell them thank you when you get a chance!
