Getting ready!!

ALOHA GANG!
It's almost that time! The start of our 2011 paddling season is almost here!! Open enrollment has started, please click on Membership at the top of our blog and get your enrollment process started! Simple! 
We encourage all of you to come out and paddle! From those who wish to be a part of the racing team to the recreational paddler, to those who have never paddled before, all are welcome! Mark the date of MARCH 5th and join us down at Lindon Harbor at 10 a.m. for our season opener. 

Also in preparation for our 2011 season, we're having our laulau fundraiser, and funds are due today.  Team members please collect your funds, and email us your laulau count and arrangements to pick up the funds will be made.  We will be prepping and cooking the laulau on Friday 2/25 so please make sure you make arrangements to be at Jared's house for that.  Email us at the top of the page and we'll get the directions out to you. MAHALO!

In the meantime, enjoy some pics of the newest member of ka 'ohana KALEA! We hope to have the newest wa'a ready soon!

Fundraiser Update and dates to remember

ALOHA! Hope everyone's been actively selling their laulaus!! If you'll recall, the goal was 50 laulaus per person.  As an incentive, **if you sell over 50 laulaus, you can use the additional sales to help offset your membership fee!!** That's an awesome deal, and a great incentive!  As a reminder, please forward the number of your total sales to our email address, you can find the link at the top of the blog. 
For the casual paddlers, or those who have never paddled before and would like to try, you can opt to pay $30.00 which is the cost of your insurance coverage for the season.  Not a bad deal at all.  Please note that the 30.00 only entitles you to insurance coverage, and does not include tshirts, or parking fees. 
Dates to remember:
February 14th (HAPPY VALENTINE'S!) First day of open enrollment

February 16th: FUNDS DUE FOR LAULAU FUNDRAISER

March 5th: **FIRST PADDLE OF THE SEASON** Weather permitting.  Either way, we will still hold an orientation for the new season.

March 14th: End of open enrollment.

April 9th: FIRST RACE OF THE SEASON IN TEMPE ARIZONA!!!

Again, we welcome everyone to come out and paddle, see you in the wa'a!

Reminder!
