This is the competition folks, 9 year old Lauren Burress wants to win the Jackson Kayak.  Lauren just sent in her first five memberships (she promises that this is just the beginning) for the Jackson Kayak 05 AW Membership Drive for Kids.  Now that school is getting out all around the country kids, and teens everywhere should take part in this great contest.

 

Here is the info:

American Whitewater and Jackson Kayak are pleased to announce the Jackson Kayak 2005 AW Membership Drive for Kids.   Jackson Kayak believes that it is critical that younger paddlers understand the importance of supporting river conservation and access through American Whitewater with membership.  To support their commitment, Jackson Kayak will award a new Jackson Kayak to the paddler who collects the most AW memberships before September 1st.  Additional prizes from Lotus Designs and AW will be awarded. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

The prizes:

- If you sell 10 AW memberships (that's just one every two weeks!) you get a free Jackson Kayak / AW t-shirt from Lotus Designs (organic cotton, so soft!).

    - If you sell 20 AW memberships (one a week) you will get the free t-shirt and a Jackson Kayak hat (cute smiley guy and all!)

    - If you sell 30 AW memberships you will get the free t-shirt, free hat, and a free Lotus Design AW branded Lolita PFD!
