Volunteering for the October 16, 2010 Little Anglers Tournament

The volunteering is all about contributing your time to make a memorable day for all little kids and it's about fun.  You can make a world of difference by sending an e-mail to either Little Anglers Tournament chairman, Matt Erickson (matt@austinbassclubdeaf.org) or Ronny Taylor (ronny@austinbassclubdeaf.org), and they will sign you up.  For planning purposes, if you plan to volunteer, the sooner you let Matt/Ronny know, the better they can plan out the event.  If any of you are wondering, you don't have to be an active member of ABCD to volunteer!  Thank you!
