Thanks Gerry for being such a bad influence on me and surrounding me with people who love to have a good time. Being Diabetic not really suppose to drink to much. Usually make an exception during special events like weddings and xMas partys. Rasberry Wheats were going down way to smoothly.

[Chris1129]

Had a great time! Had to get one of me and the boss!

[Gerry Zagorski]

Thanks for coming everyone and glad you all enjoyed yourselves. Thanks to your generosity and the people and sponsors who donated the door prizes, we raised $2000 which will be split between the Wells family and NJ Chapter of the RFA.

All the best of the Hoildays to you and your families and thanks for your continued support of the site, our sponsors and this great sport of ours.

[Cuz]

Thanks Gerry for hosting the N.J. fishing party. I had a nice time. I finally won a couple prizes. I enjoyed meeting the real boss of your family. Nice lady. I always enjoy chatting with Jamie from Eyes On First Ave. I missed Marilyn/MSGold though. Didn't seem the same this year.

The guys and gals on this site keep my faith in humanity going!!! The generosity and compassion for others and their families is an exceptional display of what is good in people. Thank you all for just being a great bunch and continuing to renew my faith in people!!! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to each and every one of you and your families!!! Don't forget to think of all of those serving home and abroad.

Gerry,
Cant thank you enough for the continued support of RFA-NJ and of course the work you have done for LAB's family. Nice to have someone like you with our back as always. Its a Huge donation to keep our rights to fish moving. Wishing You and family a Happy and Healthy Holidays!

Thanks Dales but all the thanks belong to the members of this site, our sponsors that donated the prizes and the people who ran the raffles.... I think you should hire Jamie from Eyes on First next year for fund raisers. The guys couldn't pull the money out of their pockets fast enough... For some reason I don't think you would have had the same reaction :rolleyes:

As for Lab. Thanks again for the NJ RFA donation towards the cause and to my Partner in Crime Alex MVP for all his help pulling of the PUOSU trips. Once we put the raps on the the PUOSU the family is going to have a very nice surprize.

What a great Christmas. Very thankful and continually amazed by the generosity of everyone here.
