Great idea, Rene,  but we need 4 sets.  One for the Sowbug, one for Dot, one

Dot is moving to New Jersey with her daughter Gina so she and Robert will be

Great idea, Rene,  but we need 4 sets.  One for the Sowbug, one for Dot, one 
for Robert and one for the host.
Dot is moving to New Jersey with her daughter Gina so she and Robert will be 
about 1,200 miles (2,000 Km) apart.

I won’t be able to tie until around February or March because my gear is packed

[VFB] Tony Memorial Swap -- Idea

2020-12-02 Thread Rene Zillmann

Folks, fellow VFB Members and Tiers (Tyers),

In the past, we did a couple of swaps to honor certain members. I would 
like to pick up this for a really memorable tyer who passed away recently.


I suggest that we run a swap to honor Tony Spezio.

Unfortunately I cannot host it, as it makes no sense to send the 
contribution to Europe and back to the USA.


So, as a first step I'm looking for someone in the US who is willing to 
help (Let's call him/her host for now). I assume that it would make 
sense if this member is close to the NAFF in Mtn Home, AR.


My idea is, that the participants ty one to three flies, send them in to 
the host. The host will frame the flies, so that they can be handed over 
to the NAFF and they can auction the frame off during the next Sowbug. 
The NAFF might use the money for a good purpose in Tony's name.


We can use paypal to send the financial contribution to the host for the 
frame etc.


My idea is, that we send in 3 flies, one for the NAFF frame, one frame 
for Dot / Robert (Tony's son), and the 3rd set is for the host for is 
effort. Maybe he can distribute a picture of the frame, so all 
participants have something what they can can frame and put it at the wall.


I would do the usual stuff on this list, to keep things going. However, 
I need input from the host while the flies are arriving.


I'm open for sure for better ideas, but I really would like to get a 
"Tony's swap" running.


Please don't sign up for now. First, we need a volunteer for the 'host' 
in the US.


Best

Rene
