Paul and I were honored to host this event in memory of Moma C, the best neighbor and 2nd momma to us for nearly 18 years. For over a decade we just helped her on the day of the tournament, but now we get to carry on her tradition. We will never be able to fill her shoes, but we will keep her memory and passion for this annual event alive. We could not have done this without the help of so many amazing friends:
The T-shirts were made by Billie Dyer at Great Impressions. We'd like to thank Doug Massop and the SVILA Fishing Committee for all of their help in managing the details. Also, thank you's to Chris Allen, Scott Steinkritz, Paul Jones, Ed Shwery and especially Nick Kuhn (from The Clubhouse Bar & Grille) who worked so hard to pull off fileting & frying all the fish that were caught. Chris Allen & Paul Jones also donated extra fillets so that we would be sure to have plenty of fish to fry. Thank you to Paul Jones and Doug Massop for bringing donuts for the kids to have during check in!
Thank you to Roger Snyder & Jeannie Snyder who brought all of the helpers a refreshing drink while they volunteered.
Thank you to the SVILA Office for capturing all the memories to put on the new website for everyone to enjoy.
