STUART, FLORIDA – OCTOBER 2015 – Stuart
Sailfish Club’s 30th Annual Saltwater Sisters Lady Angler Tournament
succeeded in raising thousands of dollars for local charities. The Tournament, held October 16 & 17, at Pirate’s Cove Resort and Marina, was bigger than
the previous year both in number of boats participating and in dollars
raised.
Chairperson Margaret Dyer said this year’s Tournament was also
more fun for a host of reasons. “Everyone
participating in this year’s tournament had a great time,” she said. “Whether they fished, or just attended one of
our parties, of which there were many, we heard time and again how much fun our
guests were having. I think the movie
theme was a big part of it; everyone had so much fun dressing up in costume and
decorating their boats. I want to thank
everyone who came out and fished, came to a party, volunteered, or sponsored
this Tournament. I think we’re all
looking forward to what next year’s Tournament will bring.”
Some of the movies chosen by the teams included Casino Royale,
Winnie the Pooh (the winner of the boat decorating contest), The Witches of
Eastwick, Ladies of Disney and Annie Get Your Gun.
The Tournament will once again benefit Friends in Pink, a local
organization that provides financial assistance for those on the Treasure Coast
battling breast cancer; Windsor Community Angels, an organization that pays for
free mammograms for Treasure Coast residents; the Sailfish Club’s Scholarship
program and numerous conservation related organizations.
The event was held at Pirate’s Cove Resort located at 4307 SE
Bayview St., Stuart, FL 34997.
