NMA 25th Anniversary Awards Banquet Donations and Acquisitions

[Scott McKee]

On this forum string Mike Fortunate, JoJo and I will post pictures and make you aware of all the pretty lures, rods, reels, trips, equipment and donations that will be available on the raffle tables at our 25th anniversary shindy, which will be held on Saturday, April 6, 2019 at the Pearl Street Grill.

Brian Boyer, the creator and owner of Legend Lures, is one hell of a guy.  He has slashed prices for our club for years and years, like so many of the lure makers we call friends. Brian recently filled our banquet order and he was generous enough to donate this gorgeous lure to our Prom. Brian, you are amazing, just like your baits!!!

I'm hoping to get one of Jojo's chocolate chip cookies with the M&M's stuck in the top. A chocolate chip cookie with NMA M&M's? hmmmmm!

Should we explore putting insulin on the raffle tables?

Can you get it by the gallon?

Here's good news for the ladies (and gentlemen dedicated to skin care (JoJo chiefly)), today a large consignment of Bath and Body Works arrived for our banquet. Smell like a million bucks when you get slimmed this year.

Our overly lovable gigantic Teddy bear Hans Mann has two aliases, Hans the Carver, the best piscatorial whittler and pattern painter perhaps ever, and Capt. Hans Mann, Super Guide!  Half-joking aside, Hans has donated a free guided trip for two people on Lake Erie, Lake Ontario or the Niagara River for the species of winner's choice (valued at $400) for our banquet! My bet is whoever wins chooses muskies on the river.  Hans also offers multi-day guided trips (3 day minimum) on the St. Lawrence. For more info or to see some of Hans' amazing work, check out Hans the Carver.com

Thanks, Hans!!! You are truly the Mann!!!!!
