Tom T shirts?

No Tshirts this year. It was becoming too much of a hassle to get them done and frankly I don't have the time this year.

I am however working a couple of other things for folks. Stay tuned.

OK FOLKS... As of this morning, I've counted 6 different sponsors who have stepped up AGAIN this year to support our Social and BigBendFishing.Net. As of this writing, I have not seen a single reply or indication that any one has made an attempt to contact them and express our appreciation for the resources they provide. Many of them also support the NFGFC's tournaments with money and goods for raffles and prizes. LETS GET TO IT FOLKS!! This forum we enjoy and DEPEND on for excellent information as well as entertainment doesn't just happen!! It takes work behind the scenes and financial support to keep the site running and provide for the annual Social in Sopchoppy which is one of the best I've had the pleasure to attend! I'm sure that some of you may have contacted the sponsors and personally thanked them and if so, let us hear from you. As far as the rest of us (me included) we need to get on the ball and make sure we recognize their support and not take them for granted. We came real close this year to NOT having this event. It takes a LOT of work to pull this off. Chalk and Tom along with others have worked hard over the past 7 years to provide what we (I) may just accept as "it's always gonna be there". ( I'm step'n down off the box now...) Let's start today to contact our sponsors and say Thank You !

Wasn't able to find an email address so Pamela.... Thank you for the support you provide both in funding and attention to those of us who spend to much time in the sun with no protection

The wife and I will be there. I will bring hot dogs, buns, ketchup, mustard, mayo, and other goodies courtesy of WILL THOMPSON @ (CAPITAL CITY TRAILERS). Hope to see everyone there having a good time and to support all of the sponsers that have been kind enough to support us.
