We believe Duet does a lot of good and spends their money wisely, so decided to raise money to pay for printing their die-cut envelopes. They are about out of envelopes and we figured funding for them would multiply our donations, as it would aid in Duet's communication, securing volunteers and additional funds. In other words, a contribution is of a type that would have maximum positive impact. Printing 10,000 will cost $1,481.00 (determined after Duet got three bids) and they will last two years.
If you are interested in helping out, your donation will be tax deductible and up to $200 of your donation could qualify for an Arizona State income tax CREDIT. They accept all forms of payment. You can donate by phone at 602 274-5022, online HERE or by mail at the address below. Be sure to tell them your donation is for ENVELOPE PRINTING VIA LOUIS SELF. You can search for Duet on my website (mostly in my blogs) HERE

Our New Board for the 09 season: a Naish Custom Fish 5’2” x 17.5” surfboard, which we are using, of course, without the foot straps.
Take some line! We keep an extra 6’ piece of kite line in the pocket of our harness for things like to tether to our board in case we had to walk or swim in, considering we are no longer using a board leash. We used it unexpectedly during a Planet of the Apes downwinder. Our chicken line broke and we were able to use the extra line to repair it rather than to have make the hour-long walk back to civilization.
