Good morning Black Love members:
If you are planning on attending tomorrow's kayaking event, please note the following important details. Unfortunately, I did not receive this information the first time I inquired. So sorry for the last minute details.
Please DO NOT ENTER THE NUMERICAL ADDRESS INTO YOUR GPS. I AM TOLD THERE ARE 2 LOCATIONS FOR ONE ADDRESS. ENTER RIVER'SEDGE CANOE AND KAYAK OUTFITTERS, AND it will take you directly there.
I was also just informed that the buses leave every hour not half hour, so if we all get there at 10:30 am, the bus will depart at 11:00 am. Fortunately, this will allow time for us to pay fees and complete waivers.
I hope this still works out for everyone. I apologize for the last minute details, but I have received different information from different individuals when calling to make arrangements.
A detailed email has been sent to you as well with this information.
