Hi-Mar Fishing Flea Market 2/15 Fundraiser

[MVP]

Last year I had elderly neighbor who is 70 years old who is primary caregiver for her 90+ year old mother who is bed ridden 24/7 . She ended up falling down her stairs and injuring herself pretty bad and had no one to help her out with her mom. That motivated me to get table at Hi Mar Flea market to raise some money for her by selling off some of my fishing gear.

Was able to raise enough funds to get her back on her feet so she could take care of herself and her Mom. She is so grateful for all the help she now calls me SON. Was also introduced to elderly Gentleman last year that was in great need and also began to help take care of him. He calls me Mr. Alex and says that I take better care of him then nurses that come in to help him with his open wound. I know you can not help everyone who is in need but if you can make a difference in one persons life then it is worth the effort as the satisfaction you get back is many times more then the effort you put in

The guys at Hi-Mar were a great help in making all this possible so I am looking to do the same thing this year as they have stepped up to the plate once again this year by donating table for me to use. I think I will be in the same spot against the wall in the back. Do not have as much stuff as I sold quite a bit at last years event as well as during Yard sale I had my home this past Oct which raised over 3K. Over the next few weeks I will be hitting the current flea markets to accumulate additional gear to sell off at this event. If anyone has any gear they are willing to donate please contact me or stop by the table as many of you did last year to drop stuff of.f

Please take the time to block off date on your calendar and Support the Hi-Mar Fishing Club as money they raise goes to support many good causes.

Spent the weekend looking to acquire some gear to resell at Hi-Mar show. Raritan Bay anglers on sat and another one in NY on Sunday. One of the first guys I see on Sat at RBA is Richie Tropics. Tells me he has something for me. Head over to his table and he hands me 2 brand new Fin-Nor surf combo's. These were really nice. Must be 300 bucks worth of gear if I bought it at store. Tells me to sell them at show and donate all the money raised. Class Act. I also ran into to Jerry from OMT Tackle and he donates nice bag of his custom buck tails. Met member TomKat who I never met before who was selling some nice rods. He recognized me and sold me nice cod rod, Blackfish rod and customer spinner at ridiculously low price to help the cause. Bumped into Eric Mortgageman who tells me will be donating pair of brand new boots.
I am always amazed put not surprised how people seem to step up to the plate whenever someone is in need.

Personally I have budgeted 1000 dollars to cause. Have spent about 600 bucks worth of gear so far. Have 400 bucks left to spend so if you have some fishing related stuff to sell that I can turn over for a profit let me know. Will be open to any donations as well . My goal is to raise at least $2000 dollars so I can give at least 1000 dollars to each of the recipients

Did you happen to run into Steli at that Flea Market? He asked if I had a table? (I do) He said he had some stuff that I could sell & keep the $. I told him your cause was much more worthy that the "Help Ron Have Another Beer Fund."

Probably easier if take what he has, sell it at my table and Split the $ with you. Half for you, half to go towards another Hi-Mar Kids Trip. (The beer fund is fully funded at present time )

See you there if not sooner.

Ron

That sounds perfect. I was there early and was out of there in about an hour
so I did not see him.

[Reelron]

Alex, I checked with Capt. Robby at the meeting tonight, My table will be next to yours. I am bringing very little of my own stuff. So, if Steli doesn't have a lot for me, I will have room for any spillover from your table.

That is great news. Appreciate all your help and that of your club
