We need your input on the gift to be presented to Joe Cole next month in London. Here are the ideas the chapter heads had. Please email me with your choice of trophy and choice of gift by WEDNESDAY NIGHT (19 March 2008), as we only have a few weeks to finish pulling this together.

The club should be able to cover some of the cost, with the rest coming from donations. If you would like to make a donation toward the gift or trophy, please let me know. I have set up a Paypal account for the club and you can send money to the Pacific Coast Blues account directly that way, with the funds earmarked as being specifically for the POY gift. If you are interested in this option, please let me know and I'll send more info. Otherwise checks work fine. I just need to have an idea of how much we can count on for this.

Trophy ideas:

• engraved glass trophy
• mini surfboard with engraved plate

Gift ideas:

• donation to SurfRider Foundation
• donation to Right to Play
• donation to charity of Joe's choice (he's involved in several)
• bottles of fine locally grown wines

So please take a minute and let me know your choice! Thanks so much for helping with this!
