X5? Chucks a good guy....hope its not serious?

Crafty Angler ? Geez I just mentioned him in the music forum last nite, that an album he sent me a few years ago I listen to often and that he has been missing in the forum for a long, long time. Hope nutin serious.

One of our fellow members, Chuck Vietry (Crafty Angler), has some serious health concerns that have required very substantial medical costs.
Komes Rozes, owner of Flo's Restaurant across from First Beach and a good friend of Chuck is hosting a fundraiser to help him with his medical expenses. It will be held on Monday, September 24th at Flo's in Middletown from 4:00 to 8:00 PM.
Flo's will be offering a large Buffet including chowder,clam cakes, and a roast beef dinner. Cost is $35 per ticket, all proceeds including a cash bar and several raffles and door prizes will benefit Chuck.
Andy Vouras is the contact person for this event. Please contact
him via email at andyvou@verizon.net or by phone at 401-841-9755 to purchase tickets. You can also call Flo's at 401-847-8141 for more information.

I am in for a donation of plugs for the raffle! I will be e-mailing Andy!

Chuck is very sick. Not sure he wants it broadcast but it is life threatening.
He has significant health cost and being self employed all these years, I don't think he has full coverage.
I cannot make the dinner but sent a check. Anyone who wants to contribute can send a check to:

Come on guys, you know Crafty. He's been there every time we need a donation or help. let's help one of our own.

I'm gonna try and get out of Louden first thing Monday morning so Jane and I should be able to make it.If not then a hefty donation will be sent!

I would not have even have known this myself if I had not walked into Flo's yesterday.

good idea! maybe we can run some auctions here with sunshines blessing. we always seem to do well with these auctions to help one of our own here. whata you guys think. great time to sell some gear with the fall run right around the corner.

Sorry to hear this :(
Chuck is a good guy
I'll be up for something if I can't make it down there

I will be there Monday night with some stuff for table.


Side note - Raffle - If someone can organize and run the meat of it with my assistance, we will absolutely do a benefit raffle for Chuck. I will start an ideas thread later today. By all mean please continue to support the Flo's night out. We'll work out something additional, afterward.

I'm in for a plug or two.....Anything to help out a S-B member!

I have been wondering where the old fart has been..... Hope he recovers from what ails him currently. One of the original good guys that defined the quality of men and women that would be active participants here.

Flo's is not in the cards for me.... (I don't get out of town much) So can someone put up who we can make checks out to??????

Please make checks out to Chuck Vietry

I was at Flo's last night and was disturbed to hear the news.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Chuck during this time of extreme need.

God be with you Chuck - my prayers are truly with you.

wow that stinks t and p's sent

I still have two charity display plug lots left to auction (+ a kicker of my own) and think this would be a deserving cause.

We can list them here or on the 24th, not sure what is likely to fetch more.

-spence

Good Question.

I can take them to Flo's on the 24th if that works out

Thoughts and Prayers sent.

Here's what I've got...lot 6...

-spence

And lot 7...

I tossed in the BigFish Goldfish prey (which is schweet) I won in a site auction a few years ago...as well as my one off giant jointed swimmer with the custom flame paint job.

The MAC speaks for itself.

Nice Jeff. I be bidding on the "hot rod".

maybe more fishermen wiil see them here?

Please remember to support one nice portigee!

Still not sure if I'm going to be back in time from NH.If I don't make it and Chuck is present please give him a big hello and best of luck for me.

Good to see Chuck. His spirits are good, he has a tough road ahead but looks to be on the mend. Great turnout and job by everyone and especially the spread at Flo's

The shack was full , I'll try to stay in touch with Chuck he has a tough road ahead

The only chance for a spread was in the parking lot &&&&&&&&& you made me leave :fury:

Yeah great time. I had a blast buying crap plugs for large dollars but it was for Crafty not for the plugs.:love:

You didn't get the crap, it was Buzz who ended up buying mine.... he got the crap :rotf2:

It was a nice event. Warmed my heart to see many come out to support one of our own. Over $8000 raised to help our buddy.

Big Ed took lots of loot, rod & reel, bag of plugs, just needed a spool of line and he could have walked across the street and caught bass.

Great seeing everyone.

That' great DZ, glad to see even PIEMMA out

You didn't get the crap, it was Buzz who ended up buying mine.... he got the crap :rotf2:

You haven't seen the bag I bought! Not on the board. This was at the event.

I didn't buy quality????:smash:

Guess I will have to settle for those rare one-of-a-kinds?:) Never planned to fish them.:fishin:

That' great DZ, glad to see even PIEMMA out

...and where the hell did you disappear to???? I ended up taking your chair.

Yeah great time. I had a blast buying crap plugs for large dollars but it was for Crafty not for the plugs.:love:

It was a very entertaining bidding war over a couple Roberts Rangers. Maybe everything should have been auction style instead of a rafflle...

Glad to see the big turn out, it resulted in a very effective and fun fundraising evening.

I'm bummed I didn't get back in time,woulda love to see Chuck.

Sorry I missed ya Chuck.Hope all is looking up.

...and where the hell did you disappear to???? I ended up taking your chair.

Clammer told me where your rock was, I scored big time..
:love:

Different plug bag winnings - totally unrelated

An enormous thank you to everyone who was there Monday night - and all who have donated and bid on the pluggage here. It's been humbling - imagine, me humbled.

It was great to see old S-B friends I haven't seen in a long time - wish I had more time to talk with everyone, the turnout was big and that was the 1st time I'd been out at night in the 6 months since this whole escapade began.

All things considered, I'm doing okay - still have a ways to go, will go back to chemo in a week but the good news is it's working. One step at a time, I guess - and at least we've got things moving in the right direction.

Again, many, many thanks to you all - you guys are the best!
