[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]This is the official place to volunteer you and your boat for the DAV Fishing Event scheduled for August 8, 2009 a[#800000]t the Soldier Creek arm of Strawberry Reservoir.[/#800000] I know some of you have already indicated your support on Bassrods Sticky thread, but I need some further information, so please respond here with the details. It was decided that certain types of boats would not be appropriate for this event due to the size of the reservoir and the risks associated with larger bodies of water. It was decided that Jon boats, car top or truck bed transported boats, canoes, and other smaller craft would not be appropriate.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]Boat length should be 16 feet or longer and should be rated for at least a 75 hp outboard. Boats meeting the minimum length but having a smaller motor than 75 hp would be okay, but the boat should be rated for 75 hp or more.[/size][/#800000][/font]

With out enough boats we will have to turn away Vet's and I sure hope that dose not happen....

If the sponsors come up with what has been promised for one or more of the boaters..Well you just don't want to miss out as a boater...

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]We still need some more boats - especially a couple of pontoon boats to help with wheelchair veterans.[/size][/#800000][/font]

FYI. The annual Catch A Special Thrill(CAST) for kids is always scheduled that saturday in august. So boats might be hard to come by. Its an event thats been running for about 10 years. This year its at Rockport.

[/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]Thanks, I didn't know about that. However, it looks like we're doing okay so far. We have enough boats to take 23 vetrans to date. Both events are worth the effort.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]Thanks Pat. I sent him an email. However, the Team Leader position for the print media is still open. It sure would be nice to have a volunteer take this on and follow up on it. Hint! Hint! [cool][/size][/#800000][/font]

Yes it is at Strawberry and you do not have to troll. We are just trying to help the vets have a nice day on the lake. If you can get them onto some fish by jigging for fish that would be fine. Thanks for your offer of help. Dubob will give you all the info you will need when he gets back. WH2

Exactly how many more boats are needed for the veterans.

[quote ocean]Exactly how many more boats are needed for the veterans.[/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]That number is not known at this time. What we hope to achieve is at least 25 boats and we are at 16 at present. Twenty five boats would allow us to host approximately 50 veterans with an average of 2 per boat. [/size][/#800000][/font][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]If we have less than 50 veterans, we would have more boats with just one veteran on board.[/size][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4][/size][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]We do not have any pontoon boats volunteered at this time. We do not know how many wheelchair bound veterans we will have, but a few are expected and a pontoon boat would be ideal for these folks.[/size][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4][/size][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]So, we are nine short of 25 boats which I feel would probably cover us. And if we can get 2 or 3 pontoon boats in those nine, we should have all our bases covered.[/size][/#800000][/font]
