one of UCSD canyon view instructors for only $5

to have on your resume. It's easy and pressure free. There are only 12 spots
available so email me to sign up.

advertise too much but highly encourage you guys to jump at this opportunity to
connect with nature and let your mind float along with your kayak in the sea.
PASS will be covering majority of the cost and participants will only have to
pay $10-15, the exact amount TBD. Since only 12 people can go at a time, I have
asked for 2 dates, May 16th and May 23rd, the second will
be after the banquet but if you are signed up for it and you can 100% guarantee
that you will show, we will count it into your active member status for the
