Flies For The Jimmy Fund!

[IronMike]

This is a tough year for fundraising, I'm not yet 1/2 way towards my goal. So to kick things up a notch...

I'm collecting flies to be auctioned off with proceeds going to The Jimmy Fund via a contribution to my ride in this year's PMC.

So next time you are at the vice, please tie some extras and send them to me (contact me for address). The flies will be auctioned mid-May, just in time for the spring fish.

So, TIE ON A FEW FOR THE JIMMY FUND!

THANKS!

IronMike, Anything particular? I have a mint condition set of flies from the 2003 Deceiver Swap that I would like to donate from the members of the swap. These flies can be seen if you look back 6 or 7 pages for Ruge13's posting of the swap.
Let me know where to ship them.
Tight Lines and Happy Peddling,

Mike,

I'll start setting aside some flies as I continue to tie for myself. I can put together a selection for you.

I'll send you each my address (and anyone else who's sending flies)!

I hope to collect many of these and auction them off in lots as per Jon's suggestion.

THANKS GUYS!

EMAIL WORKS AGAIN!

Thanks Mark!!!!

The flies are starting to roll on in and MAN, WHAT QUALITY!

THANKS EVERYONE!

Everyone,

The admins over at www.stripersonline.com have offered to let me use their auction section (which is free to use) for my fly auctions! You just need to register a username to bid.

This is great for many reasons, but most of all since it lets me watch one spot. It's a lot like Ebay's system, but I don't have to pay Ebay's fee, which I was considering doing.

I just wanted to say that the comradare (competition? ;) ) between all the fishing sites has really made an impression on me. Everyone joining in to support my ride and The Jimmy Fund really shows what you are all made of.

I've just been informed that Fly Auction #2 (to benefit The Jimmy Fund) will now include TWO EACH of the Herring and White Death patterns!!

GIDDYUP!

THANK BOB and BIDDER!

[IronMike]

Flies are STILL rolling in (and lures and collectibles) - THIS IS JUST FANTASTIC! Please don't stop! ;)

[IronMike]

Just thought I'd give an update with regards to the fly auctions.

THEY'VE BEEN A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS!

Total raised as of today: $1000.00!

I'm also just about that much shy of my $8000 goal - so please keep the flies and donations coming!

HELP ME KILL CANCER!

[IronMike]

Make that $1035 as of tonight!

Fly donations have slowed to a trickle, but I won't stop if you won't. So, I'm ready to take more donations as the season progresses, but for now I have to say...

THANK YOU!

I'm currently only $800 shy from my $8000 goal!

Just so you know, my final total for the 2004 PMC was $11,000!

Just so you also know... I'm doing it all over again. So, if you have extra flies, please send them to me! If you're a swapmeister, please consider having entrants tie one or more extras - this was a GREAT way of raising funds last year!

TIE A FEW ON AND CANCEL CANCER!

Congratulations Iron Mike. When is the races set for in 2005? I'm sure I can come up with a few extra's. Once again, Congratulations.

Hey Animal ;) The PMC is always the first full weekend in August, which is 8/6, 8/7th this year. Getting an early start this year since we're looking to go over $20,000,000 - so I'm hoping to kick things up a few notches by starting early and getting buy in from as many people as possible!

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

[IronMike]

Got a couple of batches, thanks and keep'em coming guys!

[IronMike]

Ok everyone, St. Patricks day is approaching and that means it's time for me to get serious about training AND fundraising! So please, send me some nice juicy flies that I can auction off for the PMC/The Jimmy Fund!

Contact me via email or PM for address, THANK YOU!
