VOLUNTEERS NEEDED and WELCOME FOR MENEHUNE CONTEST
We depend on volunteers to help us host a successful contest - we've still got work to be done, so consider volunteering.   We use volunteers for everything - judging, tallying, registration, setup, cleanup, BBQ, raffle booth, and event promotion.   Please contact Stephanie Hoffman, Contest Director, if you can donate a few hours of your time: 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.   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!
