If I post remotely - it's usually from my tablet...like a phone, but a larger 'keyboard'.

 

Most times is from my desktop or net-book (like a laptop but smaller)

All I have is my govt required tracking device (cell phone)

Ok folks. First I want to thank everybody for participating.  We reached $545.00 of our $1000 goal. Every little bit helps. I will get the check off to CHEF and will post their response.

 

First pic is the control so you know this was random. @ScottW is the winner. Scott, please contact @Siebert Outdoors to make arrangements.

Again, Thank you all and Merry Christmas!

In true BR fashion, CHEF received a donation today to put us at our $1000 goal. The donor would like to remain anonymous. He is an active member of BR and the same gentleman that topped us off last year. Thank you!!!

 

And again, thanks to all that participated.

Fantastic news Paul, and thanks to the person who made this happen.

Dear Mr. 

 

On behalf of the Board of Directors, Conservation Heritage Education Foundation President Paul Zelisko,   Chairperson of Youth Day Deborah Barr, and Jim Matousek director of Fishing we thank you for your recent donation to the Fishing venue for our Youth Day Game Fair  event.

 

Your support allows CHEF to provide a unique and enriching outdoor educational experience to a young group of youths.  Through donations like yours we are able to achieve our objective to “educate youth regarding the ethical and lawful participation in outdoor sports, specifically including hunting, fishing and related activities by, among other things, funding and sponsoring a Youth Day outdoor event, and to educate and encourage youth to protect and conserve the natural resources upon which these outdoor sports depend.”

 

Members and Directors of CHEF believe events like Youth Day Game Fair can make a difference in our community.  Paul, thank you and your fishing associates for  selection of our fishing venue as the beneficiary of your annual Christmas  Charity Fundraiser.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

John N. Humm

Gentlemen and women that participated in this past Fishmas raffle: It saddens me to inform you the Chief officer of CHEF is terminally ill and it appears as if the charity will be dissolved this year unless they can find someone to take over the reigns. If this happens, the tax code says money and assets need to go to another charity. If there are no objections here or if anyone has a suggestion of another charity, I would like to donate the money here https://www.takeavetfishing.org/

 

Also, we have 30 or 40 fishing rod combos that would also need to be donated. My thought would be the high school fishing teams that are in many of the states. If anyone has any other suggestions, please post them.

@Glenn, would Tackle the Storm be interested in the combos? I believe they are all BPS brand and are a mixture of closed face, spinning and baitcasters.

Tackle the Storm has dissolved.  But I thank you for the consideration.
