Reminder: 7/25/2005 deadline for checks for SBVS 2nd Annual Summer Rafting Trip

[Guest guest]

SBVS is pleased to announce its 2nd Annual Summer Rafting Trip on

SUNDAY, AUGUST 14TH, 2005, from approximately 10:00 AM - 5:30 PM.

 

Identical to last year's trip, we will be rafting (4-6 hours) on

the mellow Stanislaus River—which consists primarily of gently

flowing water interspersed with a couple of wading areas and a few

easy-to-medium rapids (class 1-2). Needless-to-say, you most likely

will get wet on this trip(!)—which should be quite refreshing--

considering temperatures are forecast to be in the upper 90s by mid-

August!

 

The cost of the rafting trip (including shuttle bus back to

automobiles) is still only $25/person for the day! Due to the

seasonal nature of the event, SBVS must limit this trip to 21

persons. SBVS will accept paid reservations on a first come/first

serve basis. A confirmation e-mail or phone call will be sent/made

to verify receipt of payment for the trip.

 

If you are interested in attending this fun-filled day of beautiful

scenery and refreshing water relief from the heat, then send in your

payment ASAP by any of the payment methods indicated below:

 

(1) Send an electronic payment via PAYPAL to beckerhead

NO LATER THAN SUNDAY, AUGUST 7, 2005;

 

(2) Send a money order or cashier's check payable to " Philip Becker "

early enough to arrive at the address below NO LATER THAN THAN

SATURDAY, JULY 30, 2005;

 

(3) Send a personal check payable to " Philip Becker " early enough to

arrive at the address below NO LATER THAN THAN MONDAY, JULY 25,

2005 (since personal checks need to have sufficient time to clear

through the bank).

 

The mailing address for money orders and/or checks appears below:

 

SBVS

P.O. Box 865

Cupertino, CA 95015

 

ATTENTION: Philip Becker

 

IMPORTANT: Please make sure to provide BOTH a phone number AND an e-

mail address where you can be reached for when I send a follow-up e-

mail regarding the specific details of the trip (such as where to

meet, what to bring, carpooling information, etc.) a few days before

the day of the trip.

 

Also, indicate the names of all persons for whom you are making a

reservation when you send your payment. Due to the seasonal nature

of this event, it will not be possible to issue refunds unless the

rafting company cancels the trip due to weather-related or safety

concerns.

 

Here is some information about the Stanislaus River provided by the

rafting company:

 

EXPERIENCE THE STANISLAUS RIVER

" One of the clearest of California's Western Rivers, the

Stanislaus originates high in the Sierra Nevada. As it flows west

through the Gold Country, it passes through the rustic town of

Knights Ferry…(which) is filled with many historical buildings

and legends, and is the site of the longest covered bridge west of

the Mississippi…It is just 30 minutes from Modesto, one hour from

Stockton or Tracy, and less than 2 hours from San Jose and the San

Francisco Bay Area. The Stanislaus is a beautiful, free flowing river

at Knights Ferry. A paddle down the Stanislaus is a great way to step

out of the routine of daily life and experience a simple pleasure.

The " Stan " offers something for everyone. Whether you're a

beginner or veteran river enthusiast, the Stanislaus will not

disappoint. "
