[CKF Info] Giving back.

[Kroll, William M]

All, 
I think you all received the email from the "Rogue Otters" who are
paddling from San Francisco to San Diego as a benefit to their friend
who recently passed away from a horrible blood disease. (I lost the
original email so I can't give you the name of the disease right now.)
They are looking for help along the way and having been one who went
though a tough battle of my own I understand the importance of giving
back and helping out those in need.
In response my wife and I are giving them shelter in our home for a
night with a nice meal from our BBQ and a couple bucks for the fund. I
am wondering if we could all pitch in, only if you want to, to help out.
I have volunteered to help them and thought that if any one wanted to
donate some spare change you could send it to me and I will surprise
them on CKF's behalf or on your own personal behalf's. I can work with
them re: receipts etc. if you like...I just want to help.
Naturally I hope I hope am not imposing and if there are any legal
ramifications to this I don't want to know, I just want to help. Any
input would be great.
Thanks, 
Billy
p.s. Thanks to Lee and Steve for allowing me to post this.

Below is my response tot their original request. 

Paddle on you Crazy Otters! 
Billy and Nici Kroll here. We live in El Segundo which you will pass on
your way to San Diego and we would really like to help you guys out!
I paddle out of Marina Del Rey (member of CKF) where I keep my kayak and
was thinking, if the timing is right, I could meet you guys there, you
could store your yaks for the night and we'll fix up a good BBQ at our
place, we're buying, get you rested (you could use our living room floor
if you want, not enough room in the bed) and we'll ship you off the next
morning. I have tools and tons of duct tape for repairs so if your
interested let us know.
Our home phone is 310-333-0612, work is 310-252-2729 and cell is
310-283-8944. Email is pacificcoastkayaker at gmail.com. 
You will of course have to agree to ride in my '82 Mercedes that I run
on vegetable oil. We're green people. 
Let us know you Crazy Otters!!! 
Nici and Billy 
p.s. I am a pro photographer so be ready to smile!!! Oh and that's not
me in the glider.
