Rendezvous Update (8/20/13) PLEASE READ!!!!!

[Jeremy M]

Here's where we stand on volunteers, sponsors, and events for the 2013 Arkansas Canoe Club Rendezvous.

SPONSORS: As far as sponsors go, there's only 2 so far that I know of. Little Rock Zoo and Ouachita Outdoor Outfitters. The $100.00 Sponsorships insure the business visibility during the event, offer them space to set up a booth, and also help keep this event FREE for members of the ACA. Without sponsors, this event can become extremely costly. Meaning that families will have to pay (like in the past) and it is money that could go towards other interests of the ACC, like the guage fund, SWR Training, Instructor Training, etc...etc...etc...We are relying on the general membership to help in getting these sponsors...Its really the only time that the ACC calls on its members for something like this!

Volunteers: Below I will list the "heads of state" so to speak. These are the people who have volunteered for a specific part of the Rendezvous and if you wish to help in a particular section, please contact these people. They will NEED help.

[Lazer]

Lots of videos being posted and lots of video cameras on the rivers these days so we know there is lots of footage out there. Also lots of cameras and photos out there too.

Put together your best video edit or photo slide show for the big screen Friday night.

Please keep it in the 5 minute range to allow for more folks to get theirs shown.

To ensure your video / slide show makes it in, please send a finished DVD or disc with the AVI and audio files to me. PM me or email me for mailing address. lajones @ aristotle . net

See you at the Vous!
