    Default Friend in Need


    Hi everyone, Mike Posey, a member of the Coosa River Crappie Club and great crappie fisherman had a very serious motorcycle accident in March. He has been hospitalized every since and needs our help. We are planning a benifit tournament for him in the next few weeks. Right now, the plans are to hold the tournament on Neely Henry Lake and all proceeds will go to Mike and his family. I have started contacting people to seek donations for the winner and try to give ALL of the entry fees to Mike and his family. I have already had some great response from Scott Echols, Jerry Culberson and Earl Brink. At this time, the plan is to give the winner, the majority of the prizes. I am also planning on selling Hot Dogs and Hamburgers and all of the proceeds will go to Mike.

    WHAT I NEED IS IDEAS, DONATIONS, AND HELP

    Anyone wishing to donate, help, or participate, please contact me! This is important to me and many others and it will help a friend and brother fisherman.

    Thanks so much
