[CKF Info] Giving back.

[Paula Chavez]

Re: Giving back.HI Billy
Here is the email from the man you are hosting:

All, 
My name is Brett Tanner and I am part of a two man team that is paddling down the coast of California to raise money and awareness for the Vasculitis Foundation.  Last year we lost a dear friend at age 34 to a rare disease and this is our way of honoring him.  My paddling partner Jerry has been on the water since June 8th and is currently just south of Half Moon Bay.  I will be joining Jerry in Santa Barbara on July 19th and we will continue on to San Diego together.    We are looking for volunteers willing to help us out in any way they can.  If anyone is interested in getting involved please send an email to the address listed below.  If anyone is interested in joining us on any of the legs please also let us know.  We can be tracked via our SPOT shared page linked below.  We plan to arrive in San Diego's Mission Bay on August 9th. 

Thanks for you time,

  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.
