Time again

The salvation army kettles are out and the need is greater than any time since the great depressionn. To get thngs rolling I'll send a dozen flies to the first two non-tyers who promise to make a five dollar donation. If you say you are coming to the Michigan fish-in I'll add a hex fly to that dozen.

I do tie my own flies but I like your offer so much so that in honor of it I am putting 10 stones in the kettle.

Rainbow,
I'll take you up on your offer, with one twist. Gemrod recently lost his whole kit. Send the set to him. I'll PM and tell him to get you his address.

Crazy4oldcars,

I just sent Rainbowchaser my address. Many thanks to you kind sir. Just as said in another thread...sure a bunch of great people on here.

I accept your kind offer graciously and with appreciation. Quite a surprise. So cool.

Having said that....I am also quite impressed with Rainbowchaser starting this thread and Lake Erie High Ball.....starting the ball rolling....and crazy4oldcars giving the ball a nudge as well.

Soooooo....I would like to add a little push to that ball.....and I too am going to toss in Ten stones into the kettle, the next time I am in my little town. Now let's just hope..... and see...how many more might care to donate.

Very good thoughts men.......all of the above, especially at Thanksgiving time. Hopefully the ball will continue to roll and get bigger and biggger. Maybe.....maybe not. But one can hope. At least I can count me in tonight...and it makes me feel a little good.

Thanks for generating it Rainbowchaser. Well done. < N I C E >

Set #2 is packed and addressed to Gemrod. They are in an empty curry powder tube. I hope that doesn't count as bait fishing. Set #1 is still available

I am unable to tie...But more than willing to donate to the SA...I have even rang the bell myself a few times....10 in the kettle tomorrow....flies or no flies...Hope other members feel the same...Rob

Gemrod,
I'm just putting some cash in a kettle. I'd have sent you some of my flies, but they have been known to make the hole in the ozone bigger, cause cancer in laboratory rats, and scare the h-e-double hockey sticks out of fish. When they don't go belly up laughing. This way, at least I know you'll get some quality-tied flies.

Thanks, rainbowchaser, for starting this.

I'll put in $5 on my way into the doors this am at work, just cause of this thread...

$10 went into the pot the day before yesterday. Great idea!

My donation has gone into the kettle.
