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

Count me in Darryl. I'm in for a few turkeys and canned goods.

My family and I will be serving dinner for those less fortunate this Thanksgiving, then we will have dinner later that day.

I reckon I could donate a bit

Thats great guy's.

Also If anyone knows of a family thats struggling and could use help with Thanksgiving dinner let me know and we will get them on a list for needy families so they can have a good dinner.

in.

I can donate a few bucks and some canned goods.


way to go Darryl

I'm in for donating some food. Keep me posted.

I can get Sara Lee 11lb birds for $.89 a lb. That's competitive.

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

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 like this ideal for sure, but I havent figured out where to store all the turkeys untill they are delivered to the families, any suggestions from you guy's

T-Man has a 4 body freezer. Just sayen.

Calling T-Man, are you out there? Can we use your freezer?

Can we leave canned goods with you in Lake Worth. I'm only 4 miles away???

Looks like we needs some freezers and folks ready to DONATE to the needy.

I have one on Bristows trailer somewhere in Denton.

I will check on prices tomorrow.

I will put a part 2 up tomorrow, im still waiting on a few phone calls

Sorry fellas.....was a late night for me, and I just saw this thread.

Darryl, yes I would be happy to store the birds in my freezer. Let's get together offline and work out any logistics.

Hey , you know you can count me in I will donate a full day trip twords your raffle, as well as if your short or need a little more help, you know I'm just a phone call away. Great job, darryl this is a great idea to give back during a very tough time.


Respectfully,

Jc Gwynne

I'm willing to pitch in as well. If we go with the birds from Chicken Man I can send money to him for the purchase. Let me know.

Let me see what my people can do.

Sorry I put it off.

I say we do it like they did on WKRP.

Then We'd have to get a Huey, Pilot & Les Nesman to drop them

Darryl,

Do you have a drop-off place and time for those of us wanting to donate food items? I can deliver mine to Lake Worth.

I will be in your area on Sat, I can pick it up if you would like
