We have a tremendous opportunity to raise money for the Foundation at the Seattle Boat Show Jan. 14-23, and to give C.A.S.T. more visibility in the Boating community.  Plus you'll get into the show for FREE and look at all the snazzy new boats for 2005.  The Show will be at the Qwest Field Event Center.

Honda Marine has graciously invited CAST volunteers to man their fishing simulator and in doing so solicit donations.  Last year CAST received almost $1,100 from the show.  Below is the blurb from the program.

I have listed the dates and times for the Show below.  Please e-mail Jim or call (425-251-3214) and let him know which dates and times that you would be able to volunteer.  You can sign up for full or partial days, and for more than one day.  We'll take the help whenever we can get it.  He will e-mail or call you back and let you know if your date & time are open.

Thank you in advance for your support,

yes, Jim Owens - the one who has donated stuff to our raffles, operated C.A.S.T. for Kids, past president of the Washington Bass Federation (doing untold numbers of things to help us bass anglers), recovering cancer patient...

Yes, that Jim Owens.

A coupla hours at the boat show wouldn't hurt anyone.  You'd pay to go, so why not get in for free??

Event is coming up so I hope that several members have volunteered their time. 

It isn't very tuff.  You sit at the booth and tell people that if they donate to the C.A.S.T. fund they get to try the simulated fishing machine and the top ten times for the day are entered in the drawing for the prize.  I think last year was a boat, motor and trailer.

And best of all you get into the boat show for FREE

Well I have to admit it was alotta fun and it went by pretty quick also.

I think Glenn, that we both were in second place. Of course you did it on the first try and it took me 3 try's to get there. but it was a hoot!
