Sponsor deadline extended

Hi Everyone,
Because we've had several requests, we've extended the sponsor deadline to Monday 5/23. Please ask others you know to sponsor - ask you hair dresser, your dentist, your favorite retail store, your neighbor. The money goes to such a good cause - the Tybee Island Marine Science Center.
More and more racers and casual paddlers signing up. Keep it coming.
And we can use a few more volunteers also.
Thanks, Mike Robinson, for your part in conceptualizing and putting together last weekend's fun paddle on Little Tybee. It was great to paddle and camp. Reminded me how restorative that luminous moon and salt breeze can be. Mike wrote about it on their blog at www.saltwoodpaddles.com
Please contact me with any questions about the races at tybeekayakraces@gmail.com. And check out what's going on at the Marine Science Center www.tybeemarinescience.org
Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 4th.
Best,
Debbie

Drawing for the kayak and paddle

The drawing for the kayak and paddle donated by Half-Moon Outfitters got a great boost at the Turtle Trot a couple of weeks ago. Thanks to Judy Ouzts for selling almost $300 worth of tickets for the drawing. Below is a photo of the kayak, a Perception Impulse 10 set up at the Turtle Trot. You can buy 1 ticket for $5, 3 for $10 or 5 tickets for $15. Drawing tickets are available at Papa's Barbeque and Seafood, where the boat is now displayed, at the Tybee Island Marine Science Center or at Half-Moon Outfitters.
Get in on the chance to win a recreational kayak and paddle. The drawing will take place during the Awards Ceremony following the races on June 4. You do not need to be present to win.

Judy, thanks again.

AND DON'T FORGET - THE DEADLINE TO SIGN ON AS A SPONSOR HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO MAY 19.
