trying to figure it out, see the other thread about Kauai… how’s the SA 2005 Japan planning going?
Alrigth keith! way to follow up! i got busy fro a week and lost touch with the site. im so glad ya’ll are still considering the tsunami relief fundraiser. i just sent another email somewhere??? anyways explaining that i can do all kinds of stuff to help you just gotta give me the go ! i can come up with prizes transportation and accomodation references. from cabins, to parks for tents to the ymca to local houses and guest houses hotel whatever. im sure ya’ll wanna do it simple. call me if you need to . im bummed it took me this long to check the site. i talked to kokua ages ago. what a cool guy and has tons of great ideas! he sounds busy with stuff but im flexible. if you can get a count of swaylockers ill find a place for everyone to stay or camp. i can even organise transportation via Absolutley Kauai. We’ll get ambrose to organise the dontaions of money , hahahaha,. i guess i better ask him first. i know that kokua would like the event to be held north shore, it would be killer to see everyone on the east side. a little closer, not quite as rainy and bigger parks close to airpport, grocery stuff and me! yah!!! email me im excited . or call. 808 822 3081 hobcawannie
OK, if you want to be in charge of recommending accomodations, & arranging transportation that would be great.
I think north shore is good central location but doing stuff on the other parts of the island is definitely called for too. I won’t name my favorite break here but let’s just say it’s a hike in and I wouldn’t mind surfing there again.
I’m up for camping if we get others interested in that too.
gotcha!
that sounds grest. so i myself will take care of all the airport transfers and help with accomadation/camping,
maybe both. like for mainlanders who will probably come for a few days find them a place to stay and get them there but then , when come time for a big day at the beach and raffle etc… we could camp a day or 2. people that would like to save moola can camp the whole time. so im thinking maybe start a new thread for people who needed to talk to me directly about booking accomadation, and transport. id love to know where you would think is best to hold the day of raffle and surf. you know like the “big day” and then every day have a swaylocks meeting for all who are surfing, early morning thing. maybe somewhere close to everyone. we can be surfing everyday for a good week locals and swaylockers near and far yahooooooo! get eeryone stoked on being here surfing and helping an awesome organization in the swaylock name. itll introduce local shapers to swaylocks too. kool hunh? to raise enough money we would need more than just swalockers bc not everyone can afford to make it here all though everyone can financially contribute, lcals can have fun doing what they do best and giving too. so ill advertise only a little but for surfers and shapers wanting to support relief. i think steve rex would want to get in on it. and hes good for spreading the word. all the same lets do it all in the swayolck name . keep it small and organised. and minimal work for everybody especially myself. i need someone to decide where or who to donate the money and proceeds to. and some one to take care of all that moola and prizes. i can get them, gifts like activity stuff here on the island and dinner certs. and surf boards (im sure there will be a lot donated by kool swaylock guys as yourself) but someone to be responsible for collecting and holding and giving out. i can sell the tickets to everybody. they can do that by calling me or email. also, how much will they cost ?(the raffle tickets)i guess depends on how many people we expect hunh? maybe if we all camp some where kinda comfy we’ll enjoy oursleves and be saving money making more room for donations to the fund? ya’ll probably wanna shoot me but east side? its where the kool’ys are at! but you let me know we can always meet somewhere different on the island every morning. to “surf for relief”!!! then at the end of the week have a killer luau (hopefully with donted food) and give out best prizes ever. surf boards (keith)from around the world… surf mats!!! (dale soloman) boat cruises to napali coast (blue dolphin charters) helicopter tours… you name it. what a great function. ! meet everymorning at the official camp spot for the luau and final day , everymorning and go from there. or maybe ambrose’s house hes pretty central? well i think thast everything let me know all your “good and bad’s” ill talk to you later. if you want me to step up to the plate tell me ok? thank you for all your generosity …your very kind. hobcawannie
hey hobcawannie, this all sounds very positive to me, you have the right attitude! I think maybe $5 raffle tickets, what do you think? To win an airplane ticket $5 seems like a good bet. Maybe for the 2nd raffle we can sell $2 tickets, I don’t know… getting a handle on the number of people at various times & places might be tricky, we’ll just have to try to plan each thing the best we can, ask for RSVPs…how many interested in camping, how many interested in a luau, how many for the expression session…feels like it’s really starting to roll, though.
aloha,
K
i forgot to tell you that 5 dollas sounds just fine. if for some reason that not as many show… we can always advertise more on island and ill simply come up with more prizes. hobcaw.
