So $4600.00
Paypal takes $3.78 off every sign up also
So Trip was based on 40 @ $120 = $4800 leaving a paltry $200.00 minus paypal fees to RFA plus raffles and 50/50
As you can see this is NOT a winner for RFA-NJ but I do it every year to try and help us recreational fishermen and we usually have a great time. Could use 10 more but if not I will pick up the tab and donate the remaining spots to Wounded Warriors and a Take a Kid fishing group. However it would be nice to just fill the trip and donate to those groups as well
.
Worse case we could ditch lunch and you bring your own saving 3 -4 spots.
Either way we will SAIL with the same guys that step up every year !

Dave thank you and the RFA for your combined efforts coordinating this trip all these years and on-going efforts representing the recreational fishing community. I don't think any of us realize the time and effort involved putting these trips together so again thanks for all your hard work. As far as lunch, I never expected lunch and I think everyone in my group is planning on bringing something so no big deal for us if it's "bring your own". I'll bring some Sloppy Joe sandwiches again for the boat. All about supporting the cause and having a good day on the water with friends.
