I didn't donate the Pat's game tickets - another board of director member, Paul S., from NH gave those to ACONE for the raffle. I'm just trying to help them tread water before the spring. That is when the bulk of the $ comes in from the countries largest adoption conference takes place.
I'm planning on having a fishing tackle yard sale at the ACONE office on a Sunday some time SOON - probably before Christmas. ALL of the proceeds will go to ACONE ! Any one who has ever been into my cellar knows I got some good stuff squirreled away.
You don't want to miss it!
I haven't decided which Sunday yet. Saturdays are out because ACONE runs programs those days unless it was in the evening. All kinds of reels (new & lightly used spin & conventional - lots of Penn SS in larger sizes, some extra spools & Penn parts), factory & custom rods (more salt than fresh), some rod blanks, some factory & custom plugs, plug bag(s) - one new and some used, superbraid line (50 & 80 lb stuff), etc. I can't list everything and I won't sell any of it before hand to be fair to those who come.
Ultimately I don't want to bring anything home - get the idea.
If any one wants to help me move stuff - I would gladly appreciate it.
I'll put up a post by the weekend about it.
Thanks folks for the kind words and supporty. I am but a messenger for a greater cause.
- A chance to see the Pats running a still undefeated streak into the Fish is worth some chances - going to a good cause is BO-NUSSSS 
About 160 to date with 12 days left.
