Note to Divisional Winners
Divisional winners need to return your entry form now. Please just mark it “divisional winner.” Your entry fee will be taken care of. However, you must still come to registration and pick up your Captain’s Bag and Boat Number. A check for $270 will be sent to you two weeks before the event via mail to help cover three nights on the Treasure Coast. (Average night stay for one room on the Treasure Coast is $90). You must still make your own room reservations. If you receive compensation and then do not show up, the money must be returned to the SKA.

We will contact the qualifiers of Divisions 6 and 9 immediately after last event. You must let the Membership Director, Loreen Berlin, know that you are coming and send in your application. (FAX: 904/819-0331). You can pay at the event.

Charter Members: All Charter Members who have retained their membership (numbers 1 thru 730) each year since the SKA was founded will get a special invite to fish the Championship this year. Your applications will be sent out on September 1st also, however since you know you’ll be getting an application form, you can start making arrangements now. Please remember that your team must be current members of the SKA. They can join anytime before September 1st, 2010 but not after that date. This is our appreciation for your loyalty and because this is a very special anniversary for all of us. Deadline Oct. 15.
