Default 2023 Christmas Party Recap

Well we pulled it off once again. Pretty sure everyone had a good time, it was a total blur for me…

Thanks to Chrisper and Katie, Joe and Stella from the from the NJ Muti Species Podcast for co hosting this and my wife Ruth for keeping things organized and on track…

Thanks to all the businesses that generously donated raffle prizes, we raised $1060 for the NJ Chapter of Heroes on the Water and people went home with lots of great stuff.

Here’s some photos for you to enjoy and a very Merry Christmas to all!

Thumbs up Re: 2023 Christmas Party Recap

This was just epic awesomeness! All these anglers in one room sharing the same passion. It’s what makes me tick other than being a family man. You guys are my extended family and I’d do almost anything for my brothers and sisters here. I’m thankful for the friendships we’ve built and the memories we continue to make together. Let’s keep it going right into the New Year. I wholeheartedly love y’all! Thank you to all that put forth the effort to make this happen. Support eachother, support local business and keep pushing forward!
TIGHT LINEZ FOREVER!!!

I'm feeling you Eddie, love you too and appreciate all who roam with us my brother! So many good times with you and all the people at the party and more to come. What a great community we have here which warms my heart...

Whenever there's a need or a cause or a fishing trip we all come together and that's what make us us. Hope to see you on the ice this winter...

Wow, this group is tremendous! We at NJ Heroes on the Water cannot thank you enough for your support. We are already in our planning stage for our 2024 program. We will be taking many military veterans, first responders, and their families out kayak fishing to help them #paddle-fish-heal and it's all thanks to you. We are all volunteers and this program is absolutely free to them. This means that YOU are the ones that make this happen. So give yourselves some applause. You have already, and are continuing to, make a difference. Thank you!

Jim and Matt did a great job representing and I can’t think of a more worthy cause Jon.

Merry Christmas to you, all the volunteers and our Heroes!
