Inconnu Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Since I am once again a legitimate member I thought I would post this here as well. I am working on a raffle project for Lynda McLennan and Casting for Life. The project consists of a custom made flybox (being made as I type) that was donated by a fellow in Ontario and 6 dozen Alberta themed flies. I have got most of it put together thanks to some tyers from southern Alberta, one from Holland and a few here in Edmonton that have offered through copperfly.com. I am only putting this out here because you have a link to CFL otherwise I know the club has enough to do, raising money for Muir and other projects, which I hope to be included in. If anyone has anything they were planning on sending to CFL anyway, I can package it up with this project, but I will have to get the card that goes with it, to you, so that you can sign it. This won't be a big problem, I am just making sure that all contributors are recognized for their work. Thanks folks, hopefully I am not sticking my nose where it shouldn't be...Kerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flywing Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Hi, I’m just a little confused… is this a request for a donation of Alberta flies from Albertans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inconnu Posted March 26, 2005 Author Share Posted March 26, 2005 It is not a request for a donation as such, I just figured that if someone was tying them for CFL I could ship them with the main body of flies or if someone was moved to participate in the project, they could but I am not asking anyone to tie extra flies or to donate to the project as I said there seems to be enough activity to keep everyone busy as it is. As for Albertans, well I have flies from Holland and Ontario that are going out as well. The CFL is based here in Alberta and as well as the site I work through and Copperfly.com is Albertan. I do not wish to inconvenience anyone and only posted here because you have a link to CFL. The theme of the raffle box is Alberta patterns. I have had responses from places other than Alberta to whom I have sent a list of possible patterns, which has made my job alot easier. At any rate, I have no wish to inconvenience anyone and only posted here because of the link on this site and the link to NLFT on CFL's site.

Scratch Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 The club is not 'affiliated' with CFL, though I have personnally sent a note to their volunteer coordinator offering my time. I linked to them for a few reasons, one of which being that I strongly support their cause, and all the links they can get will help from a googled perspective. As is - if you need any assistance with your project - please feel free to ask here - and hopefully you'll get the assistance you need to complete the project! Cheers Kerry - good on you for supporting them! Give our best to Linda next time you chat. (I think Jim has popped by - and I'm sure he's lurking out there somewhere...) /Scratch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inconnu Posted March 26, 2005 Author Share Posted March 26, 2005 I hate asking for donations. So I am not sure how I find myself doing this stuff, except that I strongly support their cause....then again I support kids programs, but most of that is volunteer work, so I don't have to ask, I just do it. I did their last raffle box myself, though I picked up a wooden flybox myself, from e-bay. So okay, if you have a pattern, that you like to use here in Alberta, if you wouldn't mind donating 1/2 dozen of them to this raffle box, please drop me a line pittfam@telus.net . All donators will be able to sign a card, one for the winner, one for the folks at CFL. Thanks Scratch.....Kerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inconnu Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 Wally I received the flies you sent for CFL! They are awesome! What is the wing material you used? It would be great to see a step by step if there isn't already one! Thanks again for the contribution.....Kerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
