Zipha seat covers
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Are you tired of trying to cover your car seats with an old towel
after each surf session? Disgusted with having wet seats and a
smelly interior?

Developed by CS Manasquan Chapter Director Nestor Wagner, Zipha
Seat Saver is a unique product that addresses these problems.
This waterproof cover with non-skid backing is machine washable
and comes in two colors.
It's perfect for trapping dirt, sand, sweat and water and keeping
them off your seats, making them ideal for surfers and anyone who
brings moisture and dirt into their car on a regular basis.

Visit www.zipha.com [http://www.zipha.com] for more details and
to order. A portion of each sale will be donated to the national
organization of Christian Surfers
[http://www.christiansurfers.com]. Get yours today!

Chapter Fundraiser wrap
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I continue to
be amazed by God's grace and the awesome disciples I encounter as
part of the Christian Surfers ministry. Over the past few months,
Chapters have been diligently holding fundraising and outreach
events. Some Chapters used funds to send members to the National
Conference in California and others using donations to enhance
programs already in place in their community. Thank you,
volunteers for all the hard work and extra effort it takes to
organize and execute an event!! You guys are amazing!! So, just
to name a few…


• Virginia Beach: Spaghetti Dinner & Silent Auction $1,300
raised!
• Newport Beach: Spaghetti Dinner & Silent Auction $2,600 raised!
• Hampton: Spaghetti Dinner & Silent/Live Auctions $1,575 raised!
(Rob Schwartz auctioned off the rights to cut off his hair!
Photos coming soon!!)


I'm looking forward to the New Year! Many Chapters have already
expressed exciting ideas for fundraisers and outreach events.
Need help getting started on your project?
