Nautical Flea Market Weekend - Sept. 16,17,18

Liz Cordier, June Phillips, and Jodi Mills work the booth.

13 Club Members generously gave up part of their week end to work the Flea Market at the fair grounds to make SSC some money. They included Gary Greenfield, Ed Skupeen, Nippy & Sue Pauels, Liz Cordier, June Phillips, Dave & Jodi Mills, VJ Bell, John & Chase Franco, Curt Groteau, and Jim Weix. Thanks to all of you for bringing $641 into the Club in support of our scholarship programs.
And, thanks to Julie Lentine for donating space and Shurhold Industries for donating items for sale. The Club was able to sell the balance of the tournament shirts left over after our events.
These Flea Market events have brought in over $2,000 over the past three years.
Thanks to all for their help.

First Annual Charter Mania -WOW!

Two to three hundred people attended our 1st annual Charter Mania, and all report that it was a great success. Attendees toured 5 of the most successful tournament fishing boats on the Treasure Coast, talked with captains and owners, then deposited their "signed tickets" in a bucket for drawings for free charters on those boats. There were also raffles, food, drink, vendors, and prizes.

Thanks to all boat owners and captains for their time, support, and generosity. These include:

DayMaker - Capt. Patrick Price - Daymakerfishing.com

Boneshaker - Capt. Scott Fawcett - Boneshakercharters.com

Sea Check - Capt. V.J. Bell - Seacheckcharters.com

My Other Honey - Capt. Peter Morello - stuartflsportfishing.com

Challenge - Capt. Jim Hardee - Challengesportfishing.com

All donated full or half day charters to support the Stuart Sailfish Club and its scholarship program benefitting Martin County High School graduates in their endeavors toward careers in the marine industries.

Thanks also to the vendors who donated items to the raffles, and to the many SSC members who gave their time & effort to help make this a success. Special recognition to the tent builders who get the tent, tables, & chairs up & down and handle garbage & clean up detail. They include Andy Kubiak, Greg Carpino, Nippy Pauels, Tom & Van Wichers.

All agreed that we need to continue this in future years.

Look to Stuart Sailfish Club Pictures on our website for a bunch of great pictures, most compliments of Allison Wigley who really knows how to capture the best in people.
