Hey all,
The Bad News......
Unfortunately the event for the tournament and pot luck lunch has been rescheduled. After speaking with Boerne Lake Athletics & Aquatics Supervisor Edward Puente we have decided to reschedule the event. They are already scheduled to have an Alligator Swim. This may have several hundred people swimming across the lake, this information isnt confirmed but it apparently has been advertised. We are taking the suggestions of Boerne Lake and rescheduling our event.
The Good News...
Boerne Lake may be interested in partnering with us for this event and future events. After seeing our growth and speaking with us about our program they mentioned wanting a program like this already. SO now we are going to have a sit down on how we can help each other to make the event an even bigger success.
They MAY offer free advertising for more exposure and a bigger crowd
They MAY offer to wave the gate fees for anyone in the tournament
They MAY offer the Pavilion at no fee for us to use as our weigh station etc.
I have a meeting scheduled later this week with Mr. Puente. Im going to do anything I can to make sure we can make a strong partnership and create a solid program. We couldnt be happier that Boerne Lake and the City of Boerne are interested in supporting the S.A. Kids Fishing Club.
I personally want to apologize to everyone for having to reschedule this event. I take full responsibility for any and all issues that may have come up due to the rescheduling of this event. The opportunities that have jumped into our laps have forced us to continue the planning of this event however; it almost guarantees that the event is going to be a huge success. I encourage all of you to please bear with us and make sure you stay tuned for the reschedule date. Something tells me this is going to be an epic event.
If we want we can still make a get together this weekend but gate fees etc will still be in place. We are going to hold all the donated items, the raffle and the freebies until the true event hopefully next month some time.
We are planning on having:
Pot Luck Lunch
Kids and Adults tournament
Medals for the kids division
Raffle
Discussion on the future of the S.A. Kids Fishing Club
We are still in communication with a corporate sponsor and Boerne lake as more information becomes available we will edit this first post. Make sure you check back often.
