Carolinas Kappa Club

[jrarant]

I took the first step to start a club for North and South Carolina. I have been working with Sol-Candy to get a feel for interest from the solstice side and it looks really good.

The website is up. www.carolinaskappaclub.com If you have any issues with the site PM or email me.

Club dues will be $15 for Founding Members (2006-2007 owners) and $20 for all other members. This will cover the cost of the website hosting, cards to give to potential members and dealers, banners, and event sponsorship for member.

We need members to coordinate local area events and add them to the event calendar. Sol-Candy has volunteered for the Charlotte area, I will handle Columbia, SC. Please let me know if you would be willing to handle your area.

Not all events have to be something that all members can attend. There will be local events that are more geared towards local members and other events that more members from both states can attend. Put all of the events on the calendar. I have added a few events that I found and am looking forward to seeing what other members contribute.

For now, if you would like to become a member, sign up on the site and then email me so that I can activate your membership and get your payment. Eventually, we will try to get a paypal account or something of the sort to take the membership payments.

Sounds good see you then. That makes 9 members in about 24 hours!

We have found 1 major flaw. You can post to the forum, but it will not show. It worked fine on my delelopement server, but when I moved it over to the live site the fuction quit working. I have a programmer looking into it and will let everyone know when it is up and working.

Actually, this sounds like a lot of fun!! I've always wanted to do it. There's a good chance that I might be in the neighborhood at the end of July. I won't know until it happens though (just the nature of the business).

We live about 10 minutes from the rafting place and have been wanting to try it out!!

[Sol-Candy]

I am planning on going to Rivergate this Saturday night around 7. I hope that some of you who live close will stop by.... I will be parking over by the Fuel Pizza.....

US National White Water Center


Saturday, July 21, 2007
9:00 AM - 6:00 PM

I am going to drive out there this weekend to check it out....Will post later.

Note: I am not sure of the time yet. I will post here when I call to see if we need a reservation. I thought after the ride we could go for lunch or dinner depending on when we are done. You can get a raft that fits 6. Maybe we can fill 2 of them.

Please PM me if you plan on attending.

Thanks!

This sure looks like fun so I hope that eveyone will make an effort to come.

Count me and my hubby in on the rafting!!
