As always, there will be plenty of racing in a great venue.
Very well organized race - a favorite of many of our paddlers - always a good time!

If you can't make it, please kindly let us know w/ a "No" response.
2) As with last year, please make hotel reservations ON YOUR OWN.
See hotel booking info below!
Please do this ASAP as rooms tend to sell out.
If you would like assistance finding roommates, no problem - just let me know @ wade_liu@hotmail.com
3) Let me know your lodging plans by including them in your evite response.
I.e., let me know if you've made your hotel reservations (of if you are staying elsewhere).
