A huge thank you for team57 - wow you went above and beyond today!!

[fishinglakes.com]

Dear Team57 Members, the Management at Santa Ana River Lakes would like to extend a heart felt HUGE THANK YOU for all of your generous support for the Eli Home Food Drive held at the Lake today. You guys and gals went above a beyond the call of duty. Your generous donations of food and other supplies will be greatly appreciated by so many in need, especially this time of the year, and i am sure you will be greatly awarded by the fish gods :) for all you did today. The event was a huge success, a lot of fun and a bunch of real quality trout were caught by all. This was the first, for this kind of event, and we guarantee it won't be the last. 200 people signed up for the event an we actually had more than that attend, which never happens. It was very rewarding to see all of the help and support the Team57 members offered to the Eli Home families and kids that attended. You guys helped them catch their very first fish, and it was great to see them win a lot of the fantastic raffle prizes that were so generously donated by many of the members and sponsors. This was a day that these kids will remember for the rest of their life, and I'm sure they are future Team57 members. Eli Home was absolutely blown away by Team57 and so are we. Lastly, I know that Dana was with us in spirit today and i am sure that he could not have been prouder of Donna for pulling of such a fantastic event and continuing the Team57 legacy. We took a tons of great photos and lots of video and we will produce a video of the event and post it on our website, http://www.fishinglakes.com, on FNN and on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/fishinglakesdotcom where you will be able to find your photo and print it out. Lastly, Donna and I discussed having our next Team57 event as an overnight event at Corona Lake where Team57 will have the whole Lake exclusively. If that sounds like fun let her know and we will do it.
Again THANK YOU!!

A great time out there today! Thanks for hosting! Donna did a GREAT job on this event, along with her possee. Wingy-Great seeing you-You were in your zone today-Cool to see. The list of attendees was too big to list! It was something else to see the Team 57 support out there today! There was Team 57 Garb EVERYWHERE at SARL today! Amazing support for a great cause.

I overheard Wingnut and Donna talking. I'll paraphrase: Donna, "I hope Dana would be proud of me." Wingnut, "Are you kidding? He's jealous, and pissed! (because it was such a success!)" LOL!

That pretty much sums it up!:)
