Raffle for Terry

Thanks CR500.  Keep up the great work.

same here.

Dano,
 
I'm hoping to match that rod with something in the Stardic 2000 range if possiable.  Tha tshould allow for casting spoons and plugs at the lake and fishing the tribs too.

Thanks Bug,
 
Now we have to figure out how to pay for it...

Thanks Bug.
You are a righteous dude.

Dan,

Thanks for helping with the raffle.   I have one more to verify and I should be off to the printers. 

Another board member has offered two Mitchell reels that will be going into the pot too.

There were a lot of guys donating flies and that is very much appreciated.  Please get them in the mail as soon as possible so I can get pictures and put them up on the web page for this raffle.  I should have the page up by the beginning of next week.

There are several board members that have been working very hard on this in the background and I would like to thank them very much.

The web page is up and in the process of being completed, http://msocustomrods.com/MSOCustomRods/Terry/raffle_for_terry.htm.
 
Raffle tickets will be on sale from September 1 through October 31 for $25 per ticket.  I’ll be on the beach chasin’ sharks and playing with my family next week but if the tickets are finished when I get back they can be available a few days earlier.  The drawing for prizes will be November 12 and all prizes will be shipped to the winners via USPS on November 15.  The prizes will be drawn from the first prize down to the last prize.  This will give every ticket purchaser the opportunity to win the top prizes.
 
The list of prizes grows with each donation.  There have been other things offered for donation that have not been shipped to me so if anyone is still planning to donate please get an email to me, cr500_95@yahoo.com, so we can get the stuff here, photographed and listed on the web page as a prize.  The vest, fly reels and chest pack are in route to me and pictures will be posted as soon as possible.
 
The custom 4 wt and the 9 ft steelhead rods are in the process of being built and I will keep updating the photographs as I work on the rods.  These were the two rods that were being built for Terry.
 
I have a bunch of pictures that need to be downloaded, resized and posted so more pictures should be available later today.
 
I hope everyone will support this project as all proceeds will be given to Terry’s family.  It is very easy to say you are a “Friend of Terry” but now is the time to put your money where fingers are so to speak.  We will need people to sell tickets also.  I will publish the names of those selling tickets, the amount taken, the amount sold and the amount NOT returned as an accounting control.
 
Below is a list of prizes being offered, I will be updating this thread and the web page over the next few days.
 
1.    Custom built 8' 4wt fly rod, Orvis Battenkill Traditional 3/4, Orivis Generation 3 4wt line in olive dun and backing
2.    Custom built 9' 4-8lb steelhead spinning rod with Stradic 2500 and line

BUMP::: my caddis flies dont look so great. I changed my technique since then, I wasnt pinching the hair together enough when tying it in. Those march browns look nice though.
