”Wet ’n Wild” Day at Emerald Pointe Water Park:
When: Sunday, August 11, 2002
Time: 10:30 AM
Where: “Wet ’n Wild” Emerald Pointe Water Park, Greensboro, NC
Join TYJP for an “end of summer” celebration at Emerald Pointe Water Park in Greensboro, NC. Wet 'n Wild, the Carolina’s largest and most exhilarating water park, is the perfect summer getaway, with dozens of ways to beat the heat, from thrilling water slides to relaxing rides for all ages. For more specific information regarding Emerald Pointe, please refer to their web site:
http://www.emeraldpointe.com
If anyone is interested after spending a full day at the Park, we plan to go to one of the many eating establishments in the area. We plan to leave the park around 5:30 PM and get to one of the eateries by 6:00 PM. More information will be forthcoming, and will be based upon feedback from interested parties.
Since Emerald Pointe is approximately 90 minutes from the Triangle, we will be attempting to set-up carpools from the various Triangle areas. Please RSVP with Michael Cohen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) by August 7 for this event, and please indicate:
1. Where are you planning to come from (Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Chapel Hill, Greensboro, High Point)
2. Do you wish to join a carpool to Greensboro.
3. Do you mind driving a carpool to Greensboro.
4. Are you planning to join us for dinner afterwards, or do you plan to return early.
If at least 15 people attend this event, we can receive a group rate of $19 (regularly $24.95). Otherwise, we will attempt to find other means for a discount. Other costs include $5.00/car for parking, and a locker rental fee of $7.00 (of which $2 is a refundable key deposit); we generally share one locker among many people (for shoes, shirts, etc.). Also, plan to spend between $7 to $10 if you want to get lunch at the park.
