Boatless Fishing Forum, Reports, Info

Let me fill you in on the convo. b/w Debra, Monica and myself:

Dear Elly,

Thanks so much for your enthusiasm and interest. We are meeting this afternoon to discuss this program. Monica will be in touch with you afterwards to work out details of our collaboration.

Sept. 20th sounds great. We will see what we can work out together for that time as well.

Thanks so much.

Debra

Followed by another email from Monica:

Hi Elly,
I’m back from my trip and Debra told me about your group – how exciting that you want to help out! She just stepped out so I wanted to send you a quick email to see if you are totally set on the 20th. That happens to be the International Coastal Cleanup too, they are the cleaning group we use for all the bridges, which would be appropriate!
Monica


So, it looks like we'll have alot more help as well, plus, Monica will be coming out to meet us =0)

I've given you guys a month to make this happen! Clear your schedule, don't let me down!

I'm there !!!!! it's that or for me....

Count me in, and good work putting it together.

OK now we need a check list....I will bring several coolers of ice to the bridge as well as a box of latex gloves. If anyone wants to carpool with me first come first served ....

We're in!

Works for me

Chris, I will take you up on the ride down.

Chris + a box a latex gloves??

Things that make you go HMMMMM!?

I'll be there! Anyone else want a ride down, just holler!

Feel free to pick up dirty diapers by bare hand .....

I'll be there. Does anyone knows where we can buy garbage picker that helps us pick up biohazzard stuff?

WHODEY seat reserved .

I'm tentatively there.

Can't... dammit. Mother's Birthday, I have to take her out for dinner.

Im IN!! I will bring plenty of gloves for everyone and some regular and biohazard bags as well. Let me know if there is anything else you need and i'll try to "borrow" them!

Gus, bring gloves to fit for us big guys.

Looking at my calendar I think my son has a tae kwon do tournament that weekend, but I will double check with the wife.

If I am not there, and I know this isn't why people go, but as long as we are doing it, get a group photo of everyone in front of (or behind, depending on how big) a pile of all of the garbabe you collected, and with Boatless Fisherman himself's permission, I will do a press release on it. It will help bring more traffic to the websight etc.

I am there for SURE
WORK or NOT -- Sleep or Not I will make it

Thanks for putting this together Fishy Face

Now the question of the moment ?Would there be any fishing afterwards?

I spoke to fishnfool73 about the cleanup this morning. I was going to sign up, but its September 20! Thats the day I get back from my honeymoon. If I am back on time then I will make it down. I think this is great as we all see the shape of some of our favorite bridges down there!

I'm sure at least some of us will be fishing for the day/night afterwards

Now we are talking.

RICKY Yes it will I want to hit the slopes as they were filthy last time I was there 2 weeks ago. Ideally I would like to have enough people to form 2 groups and have one start on each side of the bridge (north and south) and meet in the middle.

Your kids , your neighbors kids, kids you find along the way down. As long as they can pitch in a hand cleaning the more the merrier. I feel it would be a good lesson for kids to take part in this.

I will definitely be there

I am in.

I know that many schools are requiring their students to have X number of community service hours to graduate. Is this clean up, something that high schoolers can might be able to get service hours for(not that this isn't a worth while 'cause, but many young 'uns still need an extra initiative to give back) We might be able to recruit more high schoolers to come down and help us with our monthly clean ups if we can get them some service hours for their contribution. Just a thought
