Kids Fishing Day update

Featured Replies

  we had our meeting today, going over all plans and expences, looked at the lake and where we are going to park everyone. made plans on how we are going to feed the kids and what we are going to feed them.

  we have been donated $1,400. so far, we need $6,100 more to meet our goal to buy trout, food, t shirts, bait, hooks, line, sinkers and a game for the kids to play on that get tired of the fishing ( which most younger kid might do).

  So far haven't recieved anything from any members of bassresource. (was a little disappointed) maybe that will change by the time of our next meeting March 30th.

thanks all

someone asked me if it says Pulaski County Kids Fishing Day was the county funding the event the answer is no, this is the name of the event and this is a non-profit organization. the staff and volunteers go out and get donations and they are tax deductible. I'll put the address up again:

                           Pulaski County Kids Fishing Day

                           P.O. Box 891

recieved a report last night we are still far from our goal of the money and things we need. Bassresource members there is still time to help out. the number of members that have read the post if they could only send a few dollars each that would go a long ways. i'm still hoping that my bassresource family will help the kids out.

  went to a meeting last night, we are getting plenty of give aways (door prizes) we even have a free fish mount going to the kid that catches the biggest trout. the biggest problem is still money we are half way to what we need.  our next meeting will be the 20th if we don't get enough money we are going to cancel the t-shirts and blow up toys to play on. the food is getting close to being enough to feed all the kids. we are also getting plenty volunteer help.

   finally got to see what Newangler sent. Thanks Newangler everyone loved the bag of goodies and the rod&reel they kept passing it around looking at it and saying how nice it was. the $10.00 that you also sent will go a long ways! every dollar adds up.

  i hope by my next meeting i will see more bassresource members help out, if you do use your web name so i will know who sent it and put your real name and address with it they want to send out a thank you to everyone. Newangler pm me your name and address    Thanks All.

had a meeting today, looks like we are not going to have enough money, so we are cutting back on the trout and only going to stock 500 lbs. no blow up for the younger kids to play on, no t-shirts unless we get some last minute donations we have untill the 5th on the shirts.
