Here is a revised schedule of events, dock assignments at Waterside Marina and some Marriott Hotel info.

A note from the guy that did the dock assignments: "We have completely filled Waterside Marina. I have done my best to accommodate everyones requests, but I had to make all the boats fit. These dock assignments are locked it. Please dock in your designated slip when you arrive."


Check in & Registration (if we don't have a copy of your insurance, make sure you have a copy of it Friday) will open at 5:00 at Dockmaster's inside Waterside (basically go in 1st door and it will at your left). Please make sure the captains are at the Captains meeting at 7PM. We have allot of information to go over and want to ensure everyone knows what will be happening. Also look in your captains bag, there is information in there as well (plus some goodies).

[Hollowpoint]

I know there were many good people putting in alot of time to make this event happy. Thanks to everyone that made this a great event!

We had a great time!

[BillR]

My most sincere THANK YOU to everyone who put their trust in us, and tried a brand new event. We reached FULL CAPACITY about 6 or 7 days before the run - WOW!

I have received nothing but positive comments, but 2 comments really stand out. Someone said they they have attended many of "the big" poker runs all over the country, and that our event was actually more fun and better organized than most of those "big events".
The other stand out comment was from someone who was not local. He was blown away with how good the event was! He was from out of town, and what impressed him was how an "out of towner" like him was welcomed and made to feel like everyone in attendance had been friends for years!

Cameras were all over the place; I am sure the pictures will start getting posted as soon as everyone recovers. I think several will need new livers after the last 2 days . . . .
I know that I am whooped.

The committee will meet this week and start discussing next years event. We have some more VERY good ideas!! We will fine tune things and make it even bigger and better for next year, So if you think this years event was good - wait until next year, and plan for a Friday and Saturday event, chock full of things to do and great entertainment!!! The best is yet to come! So tell everyone you know that they do not want to miss the 2nd annual American Cancer Society's Powerboating for a Cure Poker Run!!!


Again, many thanks for all the great folks that put their trust in us. We are humbled that so many took us at our word that we would put on a GOOD, safe and fun event. Also, thank you for helping us to raise money for the American Cancer Society! Hopefully we can get closer to a cure!
