> I will make this perfectly clear: ANY AND ALL VOLUNTEERS DO NOT HAVE TO BE MEMBERS OF WALLEYE UNLIMITED AND AT NO TIME WILL YOU BE SOLICITATED TO JOIN. Walleye Unlimited is an important connection to the B&G club with a history of holding prior events.

> Environment issues will be the Walleye Unlimited clubs responsibility. Garbage will be cleaned up by volunteers. Even a spilled drink such as hot chocolate will be shoveled up and removed from the lake. As a conservation organization leave only foot prints in the snow and on the ice. This is not debatable!!
> Any other fishermen not involved in the event will be treated with respect.
>This event is only possible with the generous spirit of all volunteers and the involvement of our sponsors. I ask everyone to support all the sponsors who have kindly donated to this event. Banners will proudly be flown at the event if provided and public printing of our appreciation will be announced.

> WE THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. YOUR KINDNESS WILL LIVE IN THE MEMORIES OF THE CHILDREN FOR MANY YEARS.

> TAKE A KID FISHING AND FISHING LIVES FOREVER

This annoucment still holds true for the most part.
I still ask for those serious about wanting to volunteer that they read the entire thread as some important decisions have been made to address certain issues. e.g. Dago is in charge of the Drill Team ....The Fisherman Guy is in charge of the Equipment...etc etc.

Some other important facts.......those who wish to donate Draw prizes please contact me to arrange pick up before the end of January as all items must go on the Government Gaming Permit.

Only people who are registered to volunteer may attend and participate in the event and assist the children. As previously posted you must post here your intent to volunteer and then follow up with a pm to me with full and real name/home town or city/ telly #.

All registered members of the Fishing team must be 18 years old and im sorry to say no children can attend, even if they are your children.

thanks everyone
