Greetings!

Happy New Year!

 

January's meeting: This month's meeting is our Annual Game Night. We will be tested on knowledge, intellect and speed with our version of the Amazing Race. We did this a couple years ago and it was a ton of fun!  

 

Hope to see you all there!

BLC Muskie Shootout

 

When: October 13 - 14, 2012

Where: Leech Lake - Horseshoe Bay Resort

Entry Fee: $120/team

 

Our first annual muskie tournament is coming along nicely. The tourney committee has been working hard at setting up a host location, rules/regulations and it's payout system. A website will be up and running very soon followed by lots of promotions. This tourney is open to the public and will field 50 teams. 

 

Based on a full field of teams, the top prize to win is $1000! It will pay down to 5th place. Many other prizes to be won as well! We will also be having a social gathering the Saturday of the tourney where there will be food, drink, raffles and some cool stuff to win. This is not your normal tourney!

 

Stay tuned!

Donation Incentive Program!

 

We are in need of people to help and get donations for the Banquet. Donations are a huge part of the Banquet's success year after year. To get the ball moving we have adopted 3 incentive plans that benefit people giving us a helping hand.

 

1. Turn in $1000 or more in retail value and get a free Banquet ticket. 

 

2. Turn in a donation (minimum of $25 in retail value) at the monthly meeting and get your name in our special lure drawing. Turn in multiple donations... get your name in the drawing multiple times. Drawings will be held at each meeting in January and February.

 

3. The top 3 people that turned in the most donations, in retail value, will be recognized at the Banquet and presented with Musky Bucks to be spent at the Banquet. Musky Bucks work just like cash!

 

So think about it! Call a few people or businesses, knock on a few doors and have the opportunity to win a Banquet ticket AND free money for the Banquet! A win win situation! On top of that, maybe win some nice prizes at the banquet as well! 

 

Please turn in all donations to Jason Bassett.
