The Decal Supporter Program is going strong in 2013. New decals were developed in the fall and we’ve been canvassing all winter. A few last minute applications came in just before we went to print… way to go guys! We have met our goals for the program this year, and there’s still room to do more in the fall. You will see the various participants’ advertisements throughout this newsletter. Thanks to all our 2012 supporters!
A new banner was created to symbolize the partnership between the Ontario Steelheaders and LHFC. You’ll likely see it at Ontario Steelheaders events. One of these banners is displayed on the wall at LHFC’s Kincardine Trout hatchery.
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
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.
