Below will be a list of people who have opened their hearts to help out for a very worthy cause. AND they will have a blast themselves. We are in need of ALOT of boaters and shore workers for the event. Please consider signing up. The area guides will point you in the right direction for fish and seriously these kids don't care what they catch. They just love having the chance to be out in a boat on the water fishing. This is YOUR chance to make a difference in someones life by taking a child and his Big [Big Brothers/Big Sisters Org.] fishing on June 27th of this year.
PLEASE add your name in a reply if you can help. YOU can make a difference in a childs life.

I have it pencil-ed in... too far in the future for a firm commitment but I'd really love to help out. Sorry I couldn't make it last year - It's on my calendar for this summer and I'll do the best I can to keep it there! (with boat!)
I'm inf for shore help. I don't have a boat but I wanna help out!

THANKS guys. I'm looking for 50 plus boaters this year as there are ALOT of kids who look forward to this day. Most don't ever get out in a boat fishing except on this day so its a ''very big exciting day in their lives.'' YOU can change a childs life in a very big positive way by sharing one day of the year with them. Getting kids hooked on fishing is much better than someone else getting them hooked on something else. Kids need something to do in their spare time and fishing will fill that time much better than negative things will. So even though its just one day it can mean ALOT to their lives in a positive healthy way. YOU can make a difference in a childs life. PLEASE sign up and change a life forever. THANKS. Thanks, Bill
I am going to add my .02 worth. I was a big that came down to this event 6 years ago with my little. he still remembers it crystal clear and had a ton of fun fishing that day. I also keep my ear in the organization and I can tell you, we have matches that are chomping at the bit to get signed up for this years event. they have been talking to me and the other guy since last years event wondering when it was going to be. you will have a blast, most of the kids that come down for this are ones from last year with some new ones. they will come back and ask for you by name to go back out again.
anyway, come on down and spend a day on the water with a kid, teach him/her to have fun, smile, and enjoy some of God's great creation.

Bill, Put me in as a boater, and like some others, my schedule could get messed up at the last minute. I will let you know as we get closer. Wayne Webster
Quote: What are the hours? I would love to help, but have to work that evening.
Official hours are 8-4 but would appreciate it if boaters could get there between 6:30-7:00 to get their boats launched and tow vehicle parked so we are all ready to go before 8:00 am. THANKS. If you would need to leave by 3:00 in order to get to work on time I'm sure your big and little would be fine with that. Thanks, Bill
Thanks guys. We need 31 plus more boaters. Please consider signing up. Its a blast and you will make a difference in someones life by doing so. Thanks, Bill
Hi, I am able to help out on the shore line. I talked to my work this morning and I am able to take the day off. So just let me know where you need me. I will be there for sure. My husband (Jeff Otis) is able to help also, he can be a boater. I will send you a PM with our numbers so you can get in touch with us. See you then. Marie Otis (bearhunter01) Jeff Otis (nitrodog10)
For anyone who is on the fence about helping, it is a great time, very laid back, with lots of people to help with locations and fishing information. It is lots of fun for everyone.

-------------------- I would rather be sittting in the boat thinking of God, then sitting in church thinking about fishing.
We NEED alot more boaters guys and gals. Please consider signing up. You will not not only make a difference in a childs life but you will have ALOT of fun too. Thanks, Bill
I am planning on helping out at this years event. My boat is a bit underpowered, I wouldnt mind assisting a group of kids in someone elses boat or helping on shore.

Hi Fred, no need to worry about not having a big motor/boat as there are alot of fishing opportuntities real close to Everts Resort. Just let me know if you can bring your boat or if not then if you want to be a shore helper. Thanks, Bill
I am working on being a boater. I have to iron out some details with the wife and daycare, and I will let you know. Sounds like a fun day! Is there a way to get more info, or did I miss the page?
Boaters should be there by 7:00 but due to your work schedule if you can't be there by then just let me know what time you can be there and I will just schedule you for showing up at that time. Thanks. Thanks, Bill
Bill thanks for the start time information. I am going to have to wait a week or so to give a firm commitment. I also have to work out daycare issues. As of today I have 5 hours of vacation scheduled for thursday the 26th. My wife is also one of 6 finalists for anew job she applied for at the VA hospital in Minneapolis.
