More Great News!!!

Capt. Wayne just let me know that Sheri Carver at Lake Somerville Marina has donated a Daiwa Mllionaire 250 reel and an ABU Garcia 7' medium action rod so we have another tournament prize.

Also we have seen donations coming in from San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth and even as far away as Arizona and to think this really started right here. I really need to thank everyone for your support and especially Coe for getting the registration page set up. That page is what has made it possible for these far off donations to come in so quickly!!!!!!

For the weigh-in we might need a couple of those 10x10 popup canopies if anyone has one we can borrow for the day. I need to check with Ed of Coastal Bend Weigh Team and see if there is anything his team will need.

[bountyhunter]

Canopies are covered, the Boy Scout Troop has them and are even going to set them up.........Ye Hawwwwwww

That's too bad, we would have loved to have had you be able to make it.

Ok folks the BBQ will be catered by Joe's BBQ in Alvin. So come on out even if you don't fish and get some good BBQ and bid in the silent auction.

This is Abraham Kluksdahl - the scout doing the war memorial (and using Dad's computer and account). I really appreciate the support you guys are giving this project. 2 weeks to go. I hope you all can make it to the tournament and the BBQ dinner. I really want to meet and thank all of you for helping. My mom and Derek have been lining up some good stuff for the silent auction.

We need to have you register so we know how much food to order - or at least let us know on the board or by e-mail. It wouldn't be good to run out of food if we have a ton of folks show up we guess wrong on the amount of food to order.

Many thanks. I'm looking forward to the tournament.

Life Scout (soon to be Eagle), Troop 696
