The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

So, Buzz, who was going to run the raffle has been overtaken by events, and can't even make the Bash, never mind run the raffle.

Since I have absolutely no experience with this [and apparently no brain ] I said I'd take it over.

The list of things donated so far is not large, but we are going to have a raffle regardless.

Here is how I am going to run it.

1. I am adopting the name Raffle Nazi. It's too late for any votes except with your pocket books, checkbook or prize donations.

2. Tickets are a buck apiece, straight up.

3. I will accept cash or personal check. No food stamps. Make out the check to your favorite charity, and SPELL IT RIGHT!! I will mail the checks to the charity after I get back from fishing after the Bash.

4. Cash purchases go to support the board.

5. I am leaving my house the morning of 11 June. If you want to send me a check for tickets so it arrives on or before 10 June, send it to
Ed Kelleher
PO Box 8682
Monterey CA 93943

I will assign you tickets and guarantee that they get in the raffle. If the check arrives after I leave, I will return it to you. If you mail cash – it will go to support the board.

6. We will have the Raffle Drawing Saturday evening after the Potluck, while the kids are still up.

7. I’ll accept Raffle Prizes [in good enough taste to let kids see them] right up to the start of the pot luck.

8. If anyone feels strongly enough that I am wrong about any of these decisions, feel free to take over the Raffle.

List of prizes [so far] follows:

Hey Ed,

I will see what I can do for a raffle donation. Not sure what it will be yet. Thanks for taking on the Raffle Nazi mantle!

Dawn

Put Joey and I down for a couple of "The Fly Shop" gift cards. Will check for other stuff and possibly a set of flies from Joey.

Thanks,

Jet

Ed, our recycled but never-used raffle contributions are:

1 William Joseph Flats Pack (which we won last year)

1 dozen striper flies from a previous fly swap (also won a few years ago)

See you Saturday night.

Harlan and Ann

Thanks, Dawn!

Thanks Jet and Joey!

Thanks, Harlan and Ann!

if this keeps up I may have to raise the price of tickets!!

I will have something.......been out of touch for two weeks on vacation. Mass fishing orgy in hopes of being able to do this full time. Brief report: One permit on a fly, one bull trout, a bunch of rainbows on Chronomids, numerous Bonita and Blue Runners, some Northern Black bass and saw bald eagles every day. Tomorrow a quest for 20-24 inch rainbows. Life is good. Try all that in two weeks!

See you guys at the Bash.

Thanks Phil.

Ed,

I will be bring about twenty deluxe reel and reel spool covers and perhaps a beautifully detailed flyfishing book or two. The spool covers have never had a spool or reel in them that I know of and are a beautiful royal blue in color made of heavy and durable cloth. Very nice.
