Where do the proceeds from this lure sale go?

How does one order them?

Thanks,

Dan

Through Salmon for Soldiers website, I did not see them for sale yet but I assume you can call Silver Horde and find out more.

Dan-o,  I was the one that got this approved through Salmon For Soldiers. ALL of the money that is raised goes back into helping get soldiers and veterans out fishing.

I am on the board and know that 98% of all money raised goes back. NO board member gets any wages or $$$ for doing this. We are a true volunteer organization.  Give me a call if you need more info

Nice response Jim!  Best darn organization with best darn people!

Well done Jim!

It was an honor for me to do this for Aaron and the Blanchard Family. I talked to them before I went after it too, they were 100% on board with me making it happen. This has been in the works since last year, I couldn't make the announcement until the spoon was finished. I got to be the one to help design the spoon colors too, Silver Horde is a class act too, they worked with me and I got the idea and design approved by the Blanchard Family after I got the look dialed in.

Now I get the honor of having them fish with me on FISH 4 FUN  August 26th for the Salmon For Soldiers event in Everett

I must be stupid but I can't find where to order these lures anywhere. 

[Dan-o]

Perfect, Jim. 

Knowing that you're involved and supportive is enough for me.   Really appreciate your work with S4S.   

I was just listening to the radio about a scam being run, collecting money for wounded veterans..... but not getting to wounded veterans.  Low life scum. 

I keep meaning to drop into your work area.

Dan-o, I am now in the 2-10 building not at the D.C. any more .

elkaholic123,  the spoons are not out yet, we were only able to make the announcement of what the 2017 SFS spoon will be. As soon as they are available I will post on here. Will be about a month or so away from production at this time I am told.  They will not be sold in any stores, the only way to get them is from Salmon For Soldiers.

Thanks. Thought I was losing more of my mind.

Thanks, I just talked to Randy Shelton a few minutes ago and he told me the same, said to e-mail him and let him know I wanted some lures and he would put me on the list.

I'll keep an eye on this thread to pick up a few once they are available. 

[snocohunter]

i want to follow this as well. I would be honored to own one of the lures in remembrance of Aaron.

[Stein]

Very cool.  With our new boat, I am excited to take part with SFS this year.

2-10 / D.C...sound like you work for Boeing. i'm in the 2-25 and 3-800.

Thanks for putting this together, I knew Aaron in college, once they are available, I will be purchasing a couple.

Probably a good chance we might have met before, I was the QA Team Lead for the B1 at DC. Now in the Cold Room in the 2-10 Building.

I saw on the "about us" page on SfS that you can send a vet fishing for $50... have a former crew chief of mine who is now also a UH-60 pilot up at Lewis I'd like to send if that's the case.

Contact Randy Shelton at SFS he is the one that does all of the trips.
