Laszlo ... Thanks for the ride sat. nite at the BAY !

Any updates yet on the stops for the poker run?

Hey anytime on the ride, glad to meet you guys. Final details on Thunderfest are coming together very nicely, event registration forms will be going out by the end of the week and the stops are as follows. Start Monroe Boat Club, Kellys island Casino first stop, Lunch stop Port Clinton Yacht Club, Anchor Point Marina, back to Monroe for dinner and event. Gerry has done a great job of setting up details and Whos Your Daddy will be playing friday and saturday night, we have secured a helo for running shots and will be doing boat rides for the local special Olympics kids on friday, so we will be looking for around 10 boats as volunteers. We have what looks to be a great event lined up with some pretty nice hardware showing up for the run, Lipship cigarette will be the primary sponsor and I am sure will have a awesome presence, we hope to have a good LEOPA turn out and a fun evening and look forward to a good run. More details to follow.

Thunderfest Registration forms going out today, make sure you are a current LEOPA member so you receive the forms, should you like to join up you can e-mail me at [email protected] V.C. Laszlo

Laszlo, If you guys are looking for a heli for pics, I have a friend in Monroe who loves doing boat stuff, he has flown for Gieco in detroit and Freeze Frame Jeff in St Claire. His prices are really good too.

I would also love to find a ride for this!! Anybody comming from out of town, I know the lake and the shallow spots

Could you get with me on your Heli guy ? [email protected]

Here you go,
