Spring 2014 Fundraiser Report

How ’bout ya there buddy

A little update from your ever loving fundraising director, last year was quite successful; however, it is with a saddened hear that I am informing you all that I won’t be running for re-election next term. As such, the position of fund raising Fundraising Eventsdirector is available for nominations. While the 4-year term is up in October, we have opted to hold the election at the AGM on June 8, 2014 (details will be announced soon). Accordingly, I won’t be hosting a garage sale this year; however, if whoever decides to run for this position can certainly take over in this regard if they so choose.

At the AGM we will be hosting a Swap meet/sale for articles related to fishing ONLY. So if you have anything that you are not using and would like to donate to be sold during the AGM, additionally, if you have any items that you would like to consider swapping with another person, please contact me.

I will be having a 50/50 raffle during the May long weekend on the 17th. Also during the AGM on June 8th I will have a $100.00 gift certificate from the LCBO to be raffled off. Tickets for the LCBO gift certificate will be 3 for $5.00.

I can be reached through the Steelheaders website at contact page

Thanks for your past and ongoing support of our organization.

Cheers,
Don Power
Fundraising Director

Fundraiser Report


Supporter funding strong as ever!!

The storefront Supporter Decal Program is a real hit with tackle retailers, restaurants and other businesses. These supporting businesses donate 200 dollars towards our Fisheries Enhancement Fund. In return, the Ontario Steelheaders are supplying the stores and businesses with a storefront “Supporter” decal to display, as well as an advertisement spot in this newsletter. The funding generated from this project will go a long way to improve our fishery. Every member of the Ontario Steelheaders is encouraged to present the program to someone they know. Please do your part and keep the program and our fishery moving forward.

The license plate sized Supporter Decal can be seen on storefront windows across SW Ontario. “If you know of a business who would like to make a contribution, and advertise with us in this newsletter, please contact us at: webmaster@ontariosteelheaders.ca






Hope you all had a great winter, and got a change to get out to fish steelies this winter. What a season!
Our usual program of 50/50 draws and random prize draws will take place as usual this year so we’ll be in the park on weekends selling tickets to support the Steelheader’s projects.

We have another Rod and Reel Draw underway for 2012. The Rod is a custom, 13 Ft, 2 pc Baston IST rod, rated 6-10lb., hand tied and donated by Ernie Jantzen of Rodman Custom Rods. The reel is a custom 4 7/8” Riverkeeper, hand assembled by Rob Marquette. Both pieces are donated towards the enhancement of the Saugeen River’s Steelhead fishery, and uniquely made in Ontario by guys that fish local streams.

We are appealing to everyone to get their tickets for a chance to win this great set-up and to all members to help us sell them. We did great with last year’s draw. Let’s do it again!

We have lots of ideas for upcoming fundraisers, and we’re always open to new ideas, if you have any suggestions or wish to donate prizes for our draws, please contact me.

Keep your stick on the ice!

Please thank our partners for their support !!

    Hello everyone, hope you all had a great summer! We had a garage sale to benefit the Ontario Steelheaders in July. It was held in the parking area across from the grocery store in Southampton. Many thanks to those who donated items for the sale and especially to those who helped to set-up, tear-down and keep shop during the sale. We managed to raise over eight hundred dollars towards our bottom line!   We also held a few 50/50’s in the spring which also went very well. Special thanks to those who donated their winnings to the cause also…every bit counts!   We will start collecting the “Saugeen Steelheader” Rod Draw tickets starting the first week of November, so please make sure you offer them to anyone you feel may be interested before handing them in. The draw takes place at the end of November, so get your tickets soon!! Anyone wishing to view the Rod and Reel can contact Karl Redin. Thanks to everyone for selling them!   We have lots of ideas for upcoming fundraisers, and we’re always open to new ideas, if you have any suggestions or wish to donate prizes for our draws, please contact me.   Don Power Director of Fundraisers Ontario Steelheaders
