  • Aggie Gulf Coast Fishermen Lee Mencacci Hodgkin's Disease Benefit Tournament

    As some of yall might know, I just started the Aggie Gulf Coast Fishermen up at Texas A&M College Station. So far we have been very successful and have around 25 members. Recently one of our members was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease and we thought it would be a good idea to have a tournament to help out him and his family. Please try to get out and help support Lee. We are going to have some awesome prizes, auction items, and raffle items. Most items are going to be guided trips throughout the coast, a few will be new rods, and alot of lure give-aways. There will also be food included in your registration fee as well as a raffle ticket, so it's going to be well worth your contribution. Here is the flyer that we are passing around. Be sure to go to our website to read the rules and to sign up. If you pay on the paypal link be sure to send me an email telling me who you want on your team and what the team name is. If yall have anymore questions please let me know.

      I really want to fish this tournament in the memory of my older brother who passed away from this same cancer back in November of 2008 and I am an Aggie. I will not be able to fish it because I will be out of town that weekend.

      What I would like to do is sponser a team and pay for their entry fee in the name of my brother Leo Romeyn and Lee Mencacci. What I would really like to see is a father and son or daugther team enter, because Leo and his son Cole loved the outdoors.

      Please reply to this post and let me know if anyone has a team that would like to be in this tournament on the behalf of my family.
