Monte,
Are are pretty cool in laws and her father is an avid fishermen.

As for a X-mas gift for the wife, they will treat you right!

Yeah Donna, and the rest of your in laws were way nice when I dropped the SOS off while you were away having fun in Amsterdam. By the way...tell her next time, drinks are on me!!!

I was thinking about letting them show me something my wife might like come Christmas.

Well I didn't get to see Donna, but I thought I'd never get out of there. Got to talking to her dad and I'd still be there if the phone hadn't rang. Not complaining he is a great guy to talk with and I wish I had more time to talk.

BTW Thanks Mike!!!!!!!

Im surprised your truck did not get broken into while you were in there.

I always drive my beater to Academy just for that reason......

Derek,
Her store is on the corner of Bay Area Blvd and Hwy 3, next to the Black Eye. the name is Billings Jewelers. I will let her know you might come by.

By the way guys, if you need any jewelry, please give Donna or her mom a chance to quote you. Tell her you know me from this site and they will hook you up!

Sorry for advertising Coe!

Donna made us jewelry for the Slam Tournament!! Great stuff!

[bountyhunter]

Thanks, I'll drop a couple off this afternoon. I've got a meeting on Bay Area so it's a straight shot.......

I called and they pointed me to this statement on their web page..........

Fund-raising Events
Academy policies do not allow any organization to fundraise, sell items of any kind or otherwise solicit customer support at our store locations.

In other words, because the flyer has the words "Fundraiser" on it, their policy won't let them display the flyer. So once more they can kiss my............

I agree with Coe-I too have problems with tourney sponsorship from them and was always advised to send a letter to corporate-that way I got back a letter giving a discount (except last year when they no responsed me-but they did years before).

[WestEndAngler]

BH- I'd call corporate... They can easily give you permission. Especially since its such a great event and goes to such a worthy cause. Academy would be tickled to death to help out. You just spoke to the wrong dumbarse at Academy who happened to be the only one who graduated HS so he's manager

[bountyhunter]

Where's Donna's store, I can swing by after work and drop some off.

[Explorer21]

Derek,
that is 100 percent crap that they did that, the manager is scared of corporate!

Anyway, send me the flyer and we will display it at Donna's jewlery store in clear lake and her father will give some to his Shriner sportsmen club.
