New to the forum. I'm still my only child, but I love a great cause for kids. If whoever is directly involved can drop me a PM and let me know what's needed. I'll be in Kansas City til Friday and will be stocking up on ice fishing gear when I get back. Even if I can't make it, I'll have a 4 man popup that I can lend out, ice auger with a drill etc. Can throw some cash in for the cause too.

I'm in Calgary.

welcome to the forum, and good on you for volunteering

[gl2]

I think a big thanks to chubb is in order. Some of us are trying to help best we can but the logistics of this kind of a event is a nightmare. Lets hope the weather and the fish cooperate, so the kids have a good time.

X2 maybe everyone should bring their extra ice anchors, if the wind is howling we may have to tie the kids down!

Very true, without chubb putting this in motion, it couldn't happen.

Well, the ice at PCR is worthy of a good time already, should be great by the time we get these kids out there. The burbot bite is fair, but the walleye seemed sluggish today.. hmm?

update
im working on numbers at this time now amoung other details
what is confirmed is a huge and most generous donation from Mr. Gower of Normark/Rapala.
Communications are still in progress with SRD
It may be that only confirmed volunteers by a certain date and totalling 25 will be allowed to participate in this event.
Due to travel restrictions of the buses, I believe we will have the event at the boat launch where public washrooms are present.

To all who have commited to volunteering i thank you so very much.
To all donaters....words cant express my gratitude
A special thanks to Mikeo2's family, Horsetrader, GL2 and Parnavi
And last but not least....Thank you Mr.Gower and Normark/Rapala

Hopefully i will get the replies i need to fully set the event in motion. Im sorry its taking so long, but its a huge undertaking and requires some time to organize.

[chubbdarter]

If im held to the limits of fisherman volunteers, the good news is im close to filling the 25 limit.
Right or wrong im attempting to try pull this off without a General Section request to sponsor a child for the event.
I thank you all

Make sure my name is on that list, I really want to help out, and hopefully spouses wont have to hide if they come along

[Mudslide]

Steve has a heart of Gold. Great work Chub.

[The Fisherman Guy]

Count me in, I will be there to help where ever is necessary.

I have a tent, a manual auger and a portable ice fishing fire pit that I can bring. I will supply wood for the fire pit, and a bbq to cook up some hot dogs on the ice.

Thanks for taking the lead on this Chubb, it will definitely be a lot of fun and hopefully we can keep the kids smiling no matter what the weather will be doing.

Thank you so much Buddy...

[chubbdarter]

Club numbers are starting to roll in. Im confident we will reach the 100 child limit.
SRD is providing a blanket license for all B@G children that require a license
Mr Gower of Normark/Rapala has donated teho ice outfits at a HUGE discount with line for all the children
Walleye unlimited has donated to offset the important legal issues we need to conform to.
Bill at the calgary Fishin Hole has commited to his participation to the event, that discussion is on going.
We appear to have the barbques for the cook out.
Very generous donations have been recieved from Mikeo2 and his family, Horsetrader and GL2 has generously donated alot of time and materials to the event.
The Hogslayer family has generously with the Lays company donated potato chip for all the children.
If ive missed anyone, im sorry and please advise me.
I thank you all, it has allowed me time to wade thru the huge pile of red tape

some issues open for discussion are
1-hot chocolate and cups and juice boxes
I believe 400 servings....how do we prepare and serve the hot chocolate?
2-hot dogs and buns + condiments
I think we need to be prepared to have 250 hotdogs
3-a name for the event
4-raising funds for a participation prize for all children. Im am currently working on a idea to have a fishing lure spoon(hook less) on a lanyard with a Boys and Girls club label on the spoon. I think it would be a unique medal
5-smelt
Would 8 big bags of smelt from Super Store be enough?

[chubbdarter]

im in discussion trying to raise the volunteer limit if possible

[The Fisherman Guy]

Sounds great Chubb, I believe you have covered most of it in your review of the event.

I will see about getting a large enough BBQ for the day. NOV has a large trailer BBQ that I will inquire about borrowing for the day, which will be large enough to accomodate 500 hot dogs if need be. They typically don't ask for any cash for rental, just that the propane tank is returned full. They have been very helpful in the past, so I am confident that they will be kind enough to help this event out and keep some fuel in the bellies of the little fishing fiends!

Can you please forward the sponsor package to me Chubb so that I can see about getting some other sponsors involved, such as NOV.

Depending on the wind, I will bring my wall tent as a shelter. Difficult to count on though as the wind down there can come up in an instant, and the tent itself could be dangerous. Any thoughts on this are welcome.

Spread the word! This will be an awesome time to get kids into some fish, and introduce the sport to new anglers.

[WayneChristie]

we will need water as well for the hot chocolate, and perhaps we could do up some coffee for the adults as well. I have a couple tipups, a gas auger, as well as a hand auger, tent and heater for warming up and watching the fish camera. can definitely scare up some minnows as well. The washrooms are pretty barebones, might be a good idea to have some hand sanitizer available as well and maybe more TP? .
maybe the kids can have a bit of a competition to come up with an event name?

[slivers86]

Sounds great chubb. This is all working out great.

x2 on the idea of giving the kids a chance to name the event. Would be fun for them

thank you all

I have come to realize there is no time to decide a Name....some companies will require substantial time to decide their involvment.
So there it is.....simple and to the point.
I remind everyone, the time frame is short for a event done properly and legally.
