With alot of families struggling right now because of the economy and little or no work, I would like to try and put something together to feed as many needy families as possible this Thanksgiving.
I had the ideal of raffling off some guide trips. I know I can get a guide trip on Falcon and Amistad donated for sure. Maybe we can get some others to donate guide trips. Sell the tickets for a dollar each.
If anyone is intrested in doing something like this with me, that would be great. If anyone has other ideals, im open for anything. I just want to try and help out a brother, sister, neighbor, anybody who is struggling right now.
I know were short on time, but the challange it self would be rewarding in the end.
I have recieved the phone call I have been waiting for, and trust me this is not a waste of our time.
Salvation Army has given me the information of 5 families that are in need for Thanksgiving. The one that sticks out the most for me is a single mother of 4 that works full time and is struggling. I am personaly going to deliver a Thanksgiving dinner to 5 families that I felt are very deserving of our help. Everything else we come up with will be given to other families in need.
Every person that makes a donation of a turkey, can goods, or other items for Thanksgiving dinner will be placed in a drawing for several guide trips. As of right now, I have two guide trips to give away, and I am working on more. The most important thing right now is to start collecting donations of food items so we can get these items to the families in need before Thanksgiving.
I want to give a big thanks to Jc Gwynne and Dan Schoonveld for donating trips. Also If your a guide and you would like to donate a trip, please pm me. Also want to thank Brian Prichard for donatating a trip on Texoma. A big thanks to Chad Griffin for donating a trip on Fork. Thanks to Kieth Bunch for donating a trip on Lake Bridgeport
Guide trips to be given away.
1. Lake Amistad with Jc Gwynne Cast A Way Guide service 2. Lake Falcon with Dan Schoonveld 3. Lake Texoma with Brian Prichard Stripers Inc. 4. Lake Fork with Elite Series Pro Chad Griffin 5. Lake Bridgeport With Kieth Bunch 3 person trip
Ok, I will be at Cabelas on 11/14 from 5pm to 8pm for drop offs and 11/15 from 11 to 3 if you want to drop off your donations. Any questions call me at 817-475-3732

I can put a check in the mail for you to spend as you see fit, or I could pick-up some canned goods at Sam's Club and get them to you. Let me know what works best for your needs.

I would need to pre-order for sure. Send me a PM if you think that would be good.
