toolman Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 We are looking for donated items that we can auction off, to help raise cash for the project. So if you can help by donating anything we can sell, it would be greatly appreciated. I'll start with the first item. I will offer a half day(4-5 hours), Guided walk and wade on the Bow river, with one or two anglers. I'll even bring Spey gear if that's what the buyer wants and either way, there will be lots of trout involved. Bidding starts at $200. Anyone want to go fishing with the Toolman, here's your chance. Big trout guaranteed...grin. Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 we should do a fly box up, the tiers on the forum Quote
sirocco Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 I will offer a 13x19 giclée (inkjet) print. Unfortunately I don't have any frames or mattes...maybe someone can help out with that? Quote
ladystrange Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 i can do up some flys for the fly box. Quote
LynnF Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 LS - I have a copy of the corporate ask letter - PM me your email addy and I'll send it. Or...I could burn it onto a CD and bring it tomorrow night Quote
dryfly Posted February 6, 2008 Author Posted February 6, 2008 adc and I are offering a one-day guided pike fishing trip to a reservoir somewhere in Southern Alberta sometime between May 8 and June 15. We may or may not be able to go here ... 3M .... We need to get clearance from the land owner. If not, we will likely go to Badger, Cochrane or wherever the hot bite is at the time. NO GUARANTEES ... pike are more moody than trout. You know the drill. Trip will include lunch (we make great lunches), refreshments (no beer--sorry) and flies. Pictures taken. The lucky winner will have to provide his/her own float tube or pontoon boat as we will be floating. The winner will have to drive to the agreed-upon site -- or to Al's house in Lethbridge. (We won't be picking anyone up in Calgary.) In case we get the okay to fish "3M" this has to be limited to one angler only! Minimum bid is $200. Quote

Thanks a bunch for doing this TM..........Just to remind everyone who donates to the auction that if you submit an invoice with your donation marked Trout Unlimited Canada--S. Alberta Streamwatch a tax receipt will be issued.....Invoices that accompany the donation can be forwarded to me, TM...........Thanks again....... Quote
bulltrout Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 wish there was something i could offer up to auction to help more than my $100 donation...maybe i'll think of something... Quote
dryfly Posted February 7, 2008 Author Posted February 7, 2008 Andrew!! A guided trip to meet Big Earl !! You can throw in a free blindfold. Quote
bigbowtrout Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Can someone please PM me the corporate ask letter Thanks Quote
bulltrout Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Andrew!! A guided trip to meet Big Earl !! You can throw in a free blindfold. how about Bosephus instead? EDIT: for those interested...this is Bosephus and his woman Olga...if there is enough interest, i'll be more than happy to auction a guided excursion for these two (being that the two are always present in the same hole together)... Bosephus: Olga: Quote
maxwell Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 sign me up for donating a halfday w&w on the bow for the auction... Quote
dryfly Posted February 7, 2008 Author Posted February 7, 2008 Here is the corporate "ask" letter. Quote
ladystrange Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 just a thought on donations to an auction and revenue canada rules, i had to look into this last year. unfortunately i cant find the exact RCA link, but these have some info personal donations and tax deductions any item that is donated for a tax receipt must be a hard item with monetary value - donating time is not a tax deduction even if it is your business' source of revenue donations of time or service i ended up offering guiding and lunch for free to the United way for 2 days this summer. they guiding went for $325.00 each.
