[Ct-nfb] Reminder - Fishing Tournament, April 10th

[cbduquette at comcast.net]

Hi all, 
  
This email is a reminder that the Fishing Tournament is fast approaching.  This is the first of three events in which the NFB of CT is working with the law offices of Trantolo & Trantolo in raising funds for us. 
  
I have attached a flyer that can printed and distributed within your town (my apologies it is in PDF format) if you have not already done so.  Please note this is not like the Berlin Lions Fishing Event for the low vision and blind community, but rather a tournament where several of the fish will be tagged and are eligible for the motorcycle and/or other prizes. 
  
Please know that it is important to get the word out!  Entrance tickets are $10.00 a person, contact me if you have someone wishing to buy.  I have spoken with Trantolo and they are looking for volunteers for that day to assist with registration and locate of judges' tables. I have volunteered to work the registration and Paul plans to be fishing. 
THANKS TO YOU ALL!! 
  
Below are the details: 


    


This fishing event, presented by Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC and co-sponsor TSI Harley-Davidson , benefits the National Federation of the Blind CT Chapter. Proceeds will be used to support year-round programs offered by the organization.
