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!!!

The historic Eagle House has donated a $25 gift certificate to our banquet. Thanks, Trish!  If you win, try the chicken pot pie.

Here is another stunning Legend Perchbait bound for our Banquet raffles.  This foiled smallmouth pattern was painted by our new friend, Matt Gillispie.

[Carrie Keane]

Fantasy Island has donated a pair of park passes, an $80 value!

[Frank Stachowiak]

With this many prizes, Scott McKee and Scott Kitchen will have to move into bigger homes.

[Stephen Glassic]

Will there be enough time to finish the raffles before the Pearl Street closes?

[Scott McKee]

@Steve, yep. @Frank, sure. You buying?

If you are thinking of taking one of Frank's infamous Boxes of Crap at our banquet, please be aware that in addition to all sorts of other goodies, each box will have a special gift certificate in them (JoJo, my brother Bruce, his 16 year old Siberian Husky Tasha, and America's Sweetheart Aurora will tell you all about), and one of the boxes will have a brand new Niagara Walleye Legend Perchbait.  How do I know this? I donated one of mine.  See JoJo, it's easy to get rid of lures. Hallelujah! I am cured!

Scott...are you putting together a comprehensive list of all the prizes you have stashed away so far to publish in the March newsletter?

Will there be enough memory in our computers to download the article?

How many tera-gigs will that file be? Will it be tera-tera gigs large? Can I get it on a floppy?

John, Carrie and I have been busting our nuggets since November ensuring our 25th anniversary awards banquet, which is being held on Saturday, April 6th at the Pearl Street Grill, get your tickets now, will be our best banquet ever times twenty-five.

Jonny C's New York Deli & Caterers has donated a $50 gift card to our cause.  Located on Transit in East Amherst, Jonny C's has an epic sandwich menu. It is one of my all-time favorite places for lunch. Good stuff.
