REMINDERS -
1. PARKING (Free) is at the north end (Gate C) of Marine Stadium. (Yes, you have to walk a long way to our tent . . .)
2. DROP OFF - if you have to drop stuff off, you can enter at the south end of Marine Stadium (Gate A) between 7A-7:30A. Our TENT spaces are B4 and C4 (close to the restrooms). Please be really quiet (in the interest of community relations/neighbors) when you're unloading stuff (turn down your car stereos!).

AeroDragons~
Long Beach is only three (3) weekends away --- we need to start planning what everyone will bring to keep us "fueled" for all those heats. In addition to a roster of 38 AeroDragons, we are hosting 23 paddlers from Kaiser Permanente Dragon Healers from the Bay Area. So, with that in mind not only do we need food/water items for ourselves, but for their team as well AND any friends and family that are "hanging out" with us --- plan for at least 60 to 75 over the weekend.
Let's be good hosts and hostesses and make them feel welcome!
MORE RACE WEEKEND DETAILS WILL FOLLOW IN A SEPARATE E-MAIL . . .
I assigned items to everyone --- these quantities are for both SAT & SUN. If you cannot bring your assigned item, would like to volunteer to bring an additional item or if you were planning on bringing something else, let me know. Please do not respond to the whole group.
Please bring your items on Saturday morning of race day by at least 7:30AM - 8AM. Any questions, please let me know. PLEASE KEEP YOUR ORIGINAL RECEIPTS AND GIVE TO LORIE CHAN OR MYSELF IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED!
