| the check for Operation Muskie goes out in the mail tomorrow morning.
after shipping and paypal fees, it's over $17,200...that's a LOT!
through the generosity of the many individuals and companies that made donations, plus the people who placed winning bids, we were able to help cover the costs of sending 20 military veterans on a free, fully guided trip to Lake of the Woods.

what a great way to say "thanks" to those who are in harm's way for us, everyone who took part in this has a right to feel proud of stepping up to the plate in such a huge way for these very deserving vets.
there is still a need for some more help, please do so if you're able.
send donations to:

Location: Land of the Musky | Wow! That is great. I know they still need some goodies for the vets coming up at the end of June. Good opportunity for everyone to give a little back to these guys. I am all for trying to double that check next year so 40 vets can go! 
A+++ Muskie First! That is a lot of money and I never thought that much could be raised!

PS-Here is the address listed on the Operation Musky Webstie for any donations. I am sure we all bought a little too much this year at the musky shows. lol
