On the evening of April 19th a number of folks gathered around food and fundraising for the SANDS organization (Sportsmen Assisting the Nation’s Disabled Sportsmen). My good friend Dave Burgess (SANDS president) planned the event to bring participants and supporters of SANDS together to celebrate the on-going efforts of the volunteers, donors and directors to enable those who need assistance to get out fishing, hunting and other outdoor activities. We were treated to a show of fancy roping, had opportunity to make silent bids on many donated items and also bid during a live auction conducted by Auction Solutions Inc. The NE Game & Parks was represented as well as Whitetails Unlimited. I was asked to provide a portable sound system to facilitate the announcements and auction – which I was glad to do. It’s trying to be Spring so let’s all think about getting out of our enclosures and spending more time out in God’s creation – and not forget those who can’t just walk out by themselves.
