MNO is proud to host it's 6th annual Fishing Challenge Competition. As in years past we will be rewarding prizes for various categories. Because we ask no entrance fees our only source for prizes are donations. If you would like to help out by sponsoring with a donation or know of someone that would help, it would be much appreciated. With your donations we can award more prizes and your name will be posted on the prize list donation board.
 
Just take a moment out and consider all the hours of free entertainment and the interesting folks you've had the opportunity to meet and share information with here on MNO. Well, now's your chance to give back something by donating to the success of the MNO Fishing Challenge.
 
**The most popular item and easiest to ship are gift cards, but any and all size and type donations are much appreciated. Those choosing to donate gift cards can send them directly to prize central making sure you attach your MNO user name. Gift cards should be in $5.00 and $10.00 incroments for ease of distribution. Anyone donating bulk items will send them directly to the winners announced at the end of October. Just use your imagination and donate what you can and share in the fun. We thank you for sharing and being a team player.

This week I received my first of many future MNO championship trophies. Just so everyone knows I will be using it on Sunday as a good luck charm at the bingo. Don't say anything but, I think Lee may be a tad jealous. Thanks to everyone involved in putting on such a fun competition. I'll have to say that Fawkinnae did a great job as usual on the creation of this years trophies.
 
In closing I would like to say one thing if I may.

You Bet he learned his lesson! Last year he got me mad and I went to his shop to straighten him out. He could tell buy the look on my face that I was angry and wouldn't let me in. So, I went back to the car and got my Borgie bat. The rest is history
