Awesome Raffles!!

[proflytyer]

I am reposting this as we only need to sell 26 more tickets for the float trip and 77 more tickets for the custom tying bench! Hoping the FCC community can finish them off!

 

I hope the 2012 season has treated you well so far this year! I would like to first start off with giving a little bit of background information. This team is comprised of 6 skilled youth fly fishing anglers from across Canada under the age of 18. Our team competes in national and international competitions. The youth team is affiliated with Fly Fishing Canada, a not-for-profit organization aimed at promoting fly fishing and, in particular, using national and international fly fishing championships to promote issues concerning fly fishing and conservation.

Although some anglers still balk at the concept of competitive fly fishing, these strictly catch-and-release events provide a focal point that brings fly fishers together from throughout Canada and the world, not only to exchange technical information about their sport, but also to address problems concerning conservation, water quality, habitat loss, and other environmental problems.

The Canadian Youth Team needs the fellow fly fishermen and women to help us get to these events where we can represent Canada. The competitions our team is planning to attend for 2012 are:

• The World Youth Fly Fishing Championships and Symposium in Lozère France from July 8th-15th

• Canadian National Championships and Symposium in Calgary, Alberta from August 29th-31st

 

• The America Cup International Fly Fishing Tournament in Vail, Colorado from September 20th-23rd

If you are interested in in volunteering for being a controller for the Canadian Nationals here in Calgary please contact Todd Oishi at 604-462-0194 or toishis@uniserve.com and please refer to the topic "

competition costs such as travel, entry fees

 

Here is where all the community of FFC comes in. In order to raise funds for travel, entry fees, accommodations, ect… we are running a series of raffles to raise money.
