Hello Everyone,
I'm writing to give everyone a status update on the poker run. From the first day that we informed the public that we were planning a poker run, we continuously asked for people to register as soon as they can to help us with the ordering of all the needed items, headcount for food, and to inform all the authorities of the amount of boats that will be attending. At the beginning of the planning we had verbal commitments from MANY boats, But as of today we have only 10 boats actually registered!!!!!!!!!!
Also we are hearing rumors of some people who do not intend to register at all but yet think they will just come to the event. ALL DOCKING AT BRACCOS IS RESERVED FOR THIS EVENT !!!!!!!! Also the local authorities are aware that any boat that does not have the event sticker displayed on their boat has not registered. The police and Coast Guard are accepting of this event because we have provided event insurance and will be organized. NON REGISTERED boats will have a serious chance of being stopped and will have ZERO lenience from the authorities.
Many poker run events are run as a business and the organizer profits from the event. This event is being run at a ZERO PROFIT to the committee. we have vowed to use all money for registration and sponsorship to pay for all necessary costs to run this event ( insurance, permits, helicopter, shirts, giveaways, dock hands,...) . ALL REMAINING MONEY will be given out as prizes. After the lack of registration and rumors of party crashers the committee is becoming discouraged and quite frankly offended with the lack of support. We are committed to this event in time and money with all of our fellow boaters best interest in mind.
PRE REGISTRATION IN NEEDED ASAP
