Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: PROJECT HEALING WATERS TYING MARATHON THIS SATURDAY!!!!!

AWESOME, AWESOME EVENT TODAY EVERYONE!!!!! 

HUGE THANK YOU to everyone that sacrificed this beautiful Spring Saturday and donated not only your time but also your talents and materials to the benefit of Project Healing waters Fly Fishing.  It was tough to get an official head count, but seeing as the room filled, half emptied, then filled again, it's safe to say that over 85 tiers attended for some or all of the event!

I'll post some pictures and all of the official stats as soon as I have them, but know that today we raised close to $900 for PHWFF, and the number of flies tied and donated was truly staggering (final tally coming).  I just wanted to extend my tremendous gratitude to you all in the meantime for making the marathon such a big success!

LESS THAN 4 HOURS UNTIL KICKOFF!!!  I'm super excited to see you all at Whitlow's today.  For anyone new to the club that hasn't made it to a BEER TIE or is unfamiliar with the location, links to Whitlow's location/directions can be found on our TPFR EVENTS page here:  http://www.tpfr.org/events.htm

VERY IMPORTANT ATTACHMENT - PLEASE READ:

Since we will effectively be BEER TYING today, it is imperative that participants read and understand the Project Healing Waters policy on alcohol at PHW events.  Most importantly, 5(a) which states that "Volunteers should not purchase alcohol for the use of our participants at any time".

So, as much as you might like to buy a warrior a well deserved frosty beverage as a big thank you, please refrain from doing so out of respect for PHWFF's overall mission and commitment to their participants. 

Being that this event is being sponsored and hosted by outside parties (Orvis, TPFR, Whitlow's), it has been established with the PHWFF directors that responsible consumption is allowed by volunteers (us) throughout the event, so no worries on that end. 

Attached is the complete PHWFF Policy regarding Alcohol Consumption at events.  Please review the document prior to your arrival.

See you all in a few hours!!!
