RangerBob Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 (edited) I will have another print and some swap flies for the auction this year. Whom do I see Doc about giving it to this year? Likely bring by on Wednesday night to the meeting. Oh yeah, last nights TUC's slient auction at the Westin was fantastic! Thanks to all who donated their time, their talents, and their money to the cause. Lance Edited May 3, 2005 by Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 Brian is taking care of that. Thanks in advance for the donation Lance.

RangerBob Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Once we get that lake going east of Edmonton, I'll never see you at Muir again or should it be You know it buddy! Make it nice and close to my house (and how do I get on the selection comittee.. love to VOLUNTEER my time for that!). In any event, you know I'll pull VOLUNTEER watch duty and help out with areators and such where I can. Actually, Cardiff is nice and quiet these days (but sussshhh... don't tell anyone). I expect it to be doubly so after May 1st. Thanks, will bring my auction stuff into Brian.. and my Barry White float trip money to other Brian. (Too many Brians!).

dave robinson Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 RB: If you can't figure out which Brian to give the Barry White Trip Money to, You can always give it to Dave. But then you'd have to figure out which Dave. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerBob Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Swap flies are ready as promised for the silent auction. If you didn't have a chance to participate in some of the swaps, nows your chance to. All you gotta do is buy a ticket and show up and bid. This is a collective effort by all the swappers who participated - THANKS! http://nlft.org/swaps.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerBob Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Also you have a chance to bid on the now rare first day of issue cover, and a Brian Chan signed 8 stamp set. I had him sign six sets of these down in Calgary, it was first time he'd ever seen them.. and so far as I know the only signed copies in circulation today. http://forum.nlft.org/index.php?act=Search...highlite=stamps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerBob Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I will also get together one more of my infamous APOD Northern Lights framed prints to bring in Wednesday. This will be the last one I donate, and then I gotta go shoot another picture for next years. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap031104.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerBob Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 When is the start time on this thing? The CURRENT newsletter states 6 AM... "I'm sorry Dave... I can't do that." (ala a broken HAL 9000 voice.) As there was no mention of a start time on this post either, you might want to update and also mention at the meeting tonight. I assume it's correct on the tickets.. dunno haven't checked yet. No times listed in the on-line EVENTS calendar either!? http://nlft.org/events.php?event=77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 RangerBob Good shots of the auction - I for one had a great time...sat outside for the longest time with brewski in hand and chatted with a whole bunch of people. The event was well done and my thanks to all that made it happen..job well done. The band did a great job - some good old music to calm the soul. I don't know about you but I would have thought that we would have had more club members attending this function... or maybe they were there and I was having to much fun to notice. I got real lucky and managed to be the winning bidder on two packs of the swap flies...and I got to tell you that I think all of the flies were well tied ( way better than I could ) and are now in my vest. I also managed to be the winner on a couple of fly lines - I think I scooped Terry on one of them....or maybe he just wanted me to bid higher...now I'm not sure. It was a good time and again thanks to all Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
