Crappie.com Louisiana makes us proud

Folks we held a raffle at our Toledo Bend Gathering. I was hoping to raise $50 or even $75. We raffle various items that several members donated. Thanks go out to all of them. We had fishing reels, poles, anchors, a depth finder, a gps handheld navigator, various pole holders, large minnow bucket, a chef's apron, a fish shaped key holder, an electronic connector for Ethernet, and I'm sure I left out a few. The most special prize was a pillow that Anne made for the event. It can be seen on the off topic section. Unless someone has pictures to post, we forgot to take a picture of the items. All were bid on an Mr. Marshall racked up. I would like to thank everyone for buying tickets. We had 110% participation. (the extra 10% was Mr.Marshall. lol). Now for the best parts. We will do this again next year. We raised $275. WOW and THANKS. C.C La. is the best!!! This was humbling. Mae and I had the blessing of presenting the money to our recipient. Sabine Council on Aging. They were so thankful and gave us a round of applause. We share that with all of you. We took a couple pictures. They were doing an exercise class while we were there. The first picture is fuzzy, I was presenting the money to Ms Denise McGaha. She is a good hugger!:) the other pix are of the outside and the group of people exercising. Again, my heartfelt thanks. Danny And a special thanks to a certain lady for giving me my favorite item. Attachment 193331Attachment 193332Attachment 193333

Good job Danny.......

Great job, guys.

Yep....y,all hit a home run with that raffle.......way to go

OH yeh next year I am going to get Marshall to buy my tickets lol

That is fantastic!!!! Thank you Danny and Mae for organizing this. :) Hey do I see some gentlemen in the corner playing pool and watching those ladies exercise? nonono

That raffle turned out much better than I thought it would. Danny and I kicked it around how we were going to do it and where the money was going to go. We decided to keep it local. He was worried that the actual raffle would take too long - worked out nicely. We will definitely do it again next year. Thanks for all your help fellas for pitching in.

Thanks Danny, Mae, Randy, Ann and everyone else that had a hand in this wonderful idea! I have already been figuring out how to use the GPS that I won, looks like it will do EXACTLY what I want!

Glad you won it Dwayne. The lakes map card works nice, used it regular for a while before I got what I have now. I'll be digging around for things for next year. It was Danny's idea for the raffle - an excellent one at that. This annual event we have is a team effort - me, knucklehead, Mae, and Ann.

WTG CDC people......

First class fellows, Linda and I were glad to do our part, buy tickets. That was a great idea Danny.

May have to get with you on how to use the lakes map card Randy. And I'm glad I won it too! and the rod holders as anyone that has seen me fish, knows I can use them instead of just laying them on the deck of my boat!

Look at that, he took home a door prize bag as well! Don't remember that, Mae and Ann were giving them out. That fine fella racked up.

rmgeorge partner Bill took a bunch of pictures while there. Maybe he has one of the tables set up for the raffle.

great job on the raffle!!!!!!! glad to be a part of it....

This community is really amazing and even though I could not participate, I am very proud to be a part of it.

Kudos to the LA folk for a job well done! We can all take a lesson from y'all.

Great idea and great job on the raffle. Next year make sure to let me know ahead of time and I could include a little something for the raffle when I send the event t-shirts. I'm forgetful, I'll need reminding. Just ask "G".

We enjoyed doing that. We would prefer if you bring them yourself Ed :rolleyes:. And, you know I will be reminding you of that.

Best camp in all of C.C and we cant even get the Head Gewber to come............if that don't beat all

Hey Now...

If you all would order up some nice weather, maybe I'd come down there again, but the last two years have been for the birds, of more accurately the Penguins.

You just gotta go with the flow Ed...was too cold to fish but we all still had fun

it weren't too cold to fish.......too cold to catch..........

G thanks for being there and bringing your buddies. Was a pleasure! It will take a lot to keep me away from this annual event. Randy and Anne are such great host's and friends. I do want to make a Mississippi and Florida event someday. And in my opinion, it would not be the same with out the proud Texans. We already knew what us folks from Louisiana were capable of as for as events!!! Next year vet is with me again, but I will share him with Freebird if need be. Vet and I are like the Batman and Robin of the Crappie world. The crappie are in fear of us and stay far away.:biggrin

I like someone who thinks positive.
