Save the date!
July 18, 2015 in Monterey.
The official 2015 Pay It Forward Paddle event will be held @ the Monterey Bay Group BBQ Picnic area (same beach as MBK).
More details to come. Please let me know if you have any ideas for the event or contributions for the raffle or want to help out.


BACKGROUND
Pay It Forward (PIF) raises $ throughout the year in a variety of ways (AOTY/DOTY registration fees, annual PIF Paddle and Raffle, donations, raffles put on by events like GS and FreshKats etc).

Historically, this $ has gone to NCKA members battling cancer or other serious illness.
Here is a breakdown of how much $ has been generated via PIF efforts over the years and where the $ has gone:
2010: $6,000+ given to Mooch
2011: $9,000+ given to Mooch/Shicken
2012: $8,000+ given to Mooch/Shicken
2013: $10,000+ given to Mooch
2014: $15,300+ given to Porky's daughter Hailey
2015: $1,120 given to PAL, $2,000+ already in PayPal. Recipient TBD

I'll start looking for a hotel room to reserve. Hope there's no big events going on in town that weekend.

I had a buddy stay in his RV down here last weekend for the Triton Open/T2B2 and they said they really enjoyed it:

Good call, Alfredo! We tried to pick the best date possible---that doesn't overlap with other NCKA or kayak fishing events, plus gives plenty of time before & after other major events (Albion), and no local events.

Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
Unfortunately, there is an event at Laguna Seca the same wknd (international Superbike bs). So the rates listed online are up for that wknd :-(  But I'm pretty sure you can get a discount if you call the hotels and speak to them.
In the meantime, I am building a list of places to stay. I'll post it up today. And I'm trying to get a group rate deal from my buddy at the Portola.
Also, if you qualify for the Navy Gateway Inns, let me know and I can get you into the historic Del Monte Hotel http://www.nps.edu/Services/NGIS/stay.html

See you guys there.

I have a really nice DSLR camera bag that I never used to donate.

Attached is a list of Hotels/Motels/Inns in the area (Marina, Seaside, Monterey, PG). All of them have higher rates than normal [due to damn Superbike bs]. I would try for one that's on this list but doesn't show up on Expedia, Hotels.com, Kayak, etc. Best rate right now is the Thunderbird in Seaside @ $110. It seems like the jacked-up rates stop once you get to Salinas, Watsonville, or Gilroy...that's where you will find more reasonable rates for 7/17-18.

Nearby campgrounds include Veteran's Memorial Park in Monterey, Monterey Pines RV Park, Laguna Seca, Fremont Peak campground in Salinas, Marina Dunes RV Park, Moss Landing RV Park, Sunset State Beach in Watsonville, Saddle Mtn RV Park in Carmel Valley, KOA in Watsonville, and a handful in Big Sur. Also a handful of campgrounds in the Santa cruz area.
