Re: NJFishing.com Holiday Party Sandy Fund Raiser Wrap Up
Wow, what an exceptionally run party, great people, great prizes, and most of all great cause. Nothing in the cards (tickets) for me. Although the prizes were very tempting, knowing the ticket money would help our neighbors in troubled times made each and every ticket a golden one.
Hope to see each of you out on the water real soon!

Re: NJFishing.com Holiday Party Sandy Fund Raiser Wrap Up
Thanks to Gerry and the NJF.com crew for another banner celebration! Great to catch up with old friends and make a few new ones. Glad we were able to raise so much for families affected by Sandy; even though I won nothing, I feel like all those green tickets I bought was money well spent. We made the holidays a lot brighter for some, and that's great.
Happy Holidays everyone!

Re: NJFishing.com Holiday Party Sandy Fund Raiser Wrap Up
That was a fantastic party Gerry! The guys from Wicked Tuna were incredible and I cant thank them for coming down to support our Sandy Families. It was great to meet some new faces and old alike. I'd like to give a huge shoutout to all the tackle shops and captains for incredible prizes and your brother for the tv! I'd like to wish everyone a very happy and safe holiday and God bless.

Re: NJFishing.com Holiday Party Sandy Fund Raiser Wrap Up
Thanks for all the thanks, but the real reward in all this was seeing the outpooring of support and generosity from all of you. Given all the other stuff going on in this world, it gives you pause and helps restore your faith in people. The real kicker is going to be representing all of you, along with our Committee Members, giving the funds out to the 3 families. That is going to be a very emotional experience.
Truth be told, I was really nervous about pulling this whole thing off and leading up to the party, I felt like an expectant father. I used to do this sort of stuff for a living, but for some reason this event had me spinning. A few hours before the party and with help of a few JJ IPAs and all the people that were helping, I finally managed to get my nerves in check. Sounds like everyone had a good time and I think it's only fair that JimmyLiveBait invites us all over to watch the Super Bowl on his new flat screen

Re: NJFishing.com Holiday Party Sandy Fund Raiser Wrap Up
Dave, Paul and Sandro stayed with us and Ruth cooked us up a Jersey stlye breakfast of Pork Roll and eggs in the morning.... Paul and Sandro never had Pork Roll before but ate it up like it was their last meal
When Dave saw the Pork Roll he recalled a story of working on the docks in Atlantic Highlands as a mate on the Sea Fox. In the morning, when no one was watching, he'd sneak off and go over to one of the competing boats that had a galley and get a Pork Roll sandwich on the QT... Funny how all the people I talk to that used to live in Jersey, when I ask them what they miss most, Pork Roll always makes the list

Re: NJFishing.com Holiday Party Sandy Fund Raiser Wrap Up
For those of you that missed it or could not hear it, here is the Christmas Poem that Paul Hebert read at the party... What a Pissah! Thanks Paul !!
Gloucester Night before Christmas Twas the night before Christmas out off Gloucester Mass Not as fish was a stirrin, not even a bass. Me Dave and Sandros were out on the grounds And pickles was sleepin that lazy old hound Dave and Sandros were out on deck working the back So I went down in the cabin to take a quick crap I pulled down my Grudens and then heard such a clatter I rushed back on deck to see what’s the matter. And what to my wondering eyes should appear But a sled with Santa and 8 tiny reindeer I rubbed at my eyes because it was hard to believe What were seeing out on water on this Christmas eve Santa cracked his whip and they landed on the deck I looked at Dave and Sandros and said what the Heck? His belly was round and his breath smelled like Chowder His voice soft at first but it quickly got louder He said pull up the anchor and bring in the lines There’s people who need you and we don’t have much time!! I said to him you know buddy You’re really a pisser I got a girl waiting at the bar and I ain’t going to miss her He went on a to tell us of this terrible storm There was wind there was rain and houses were torn You all need to go there and do it right quick I’m too busy screwing around here it’s Christmas and I’m Saint Nick And as quick as he came he disappeared in a flash We knew in an instant we had to haul ass Dave started the boat pinned the throttles to the wall And we steamed down to Jersey to help out you all This party is fun and all full of good cheer But remember there’s people still living in fear How the hell do they replace all the things that were lost Will insurance or FEMA cover their costs? This storm was a doosey I don’t know how they'll cope But if we all pitch in together we can at least give them hope Its’ not government and FEMA they ain’t gonna do it They need charity, people and our help to get through it The water will subside from this terrible storm And we know you’ll come back because you're Jersey strong Me Dave and Sandros are glad to be here So let’s raise a glass and toast with a beer We might curse and swear and get drunk like sailors But we fisherman stick together and we help out our neighbors Dig in your pockets and get out your cash And let’s all have fun at this fund raising bash.
