OK Folks ---

It's SHOWTIME! We will have one more practice this Wednesday evening for those of you who just can't live without it. Coach Dee says lots of stretching this week --- no injuries! This means no Wallyball Air Force people . . .

I'd like everyone (except Corporate Team) there by 8:30AM on SAT morning to help set up. Parking is going to be challenging - I suggest getting there before 8A if possible. CORPORATE TEAM show up SUN at 8:00AM for 9:20AM race.

DETAILS for Long Beach are linked at AeroDragons' web at www.aerodragons.org --- please familiarize yourself with the rules regarding paddlers switching teams and lane violations!

PARKING is available by the Boy Scout parking lot on the other side of the 2nd Street Bridge. There will also be plenty of parking on the north and east side of Marine Stadium.

IF YOU DIDN'T GET CAROLYN'S E-MAIL ABOUT BRINGING FOOD --- please contact her at carolinemj3@yahoo.com

MASSAGES available $1/minute for 15 minutes - remember to sign up ASAP, I will be opening up appointments to the team we are hosting: Ripple Effect. Let me know if you want me to go ahead and schedule a massage for you!

FINALLY don't forget your sunscreen, beach chair, towel, stuff to keep you busy when you're not racing . . . this lady forgot her sunscreen . . .
