Title: Public Thank You!!
Post by: Keith Zimmerman on March 16, 2014, 10:32:00 AM
I just wanted to say thank you to Abe Penner for his generous donation he made to the Manitoba Records Banquet.  Abe donated $1000 towards the purchase of a new Caribow.

Darren Shipp posted about it so I mailed some money to take a chance.  I have never met Darren in person or talked to him other than email.  Well, I got a call last night from him saying that his daughter drew my card, a King of Clubs, and Abe was sitting right next to him.  WOW!!  I won!!

So now the next step...picking out all the options.  His bows are gorgeous and it will not be easy.  But I look forward to the Challenge.  And Im sure Darren can help:)

THANK YOU Abe!  And THANK YOU Darren for being so honest.  You could have kept the card and I wouldnt have known.  You and your family are a credit to TRAD GANG!

Keith

Not to take anything away from Keith here..but... I would like to know how much Darren has spent on tickets over all the years Abe has been doing this for the MBRC???  I almost guarantee he could buy a bow or 2 with it!!
Title: Re: Public Thank You!!
Post by: Keith Zimmerman on March 18, 2014, 02:41:00 PM
He said he bought 6 this time.  I bought 4.  Next year Hermon will grab a couple tickets.

You may be right Ryan.
I do know that Darren came back and placed cards on the table in front of his wife with names on it,she was to keep track of them. I did see Keith's name on a few. He never relieved his cards.
Darren is a big supporter of things he believes in.

Congrats Keith! Looking forward to it.
Abe

I usually buy 6 to 8 cards at $20 a pop. One Day I AM going to win !! .....lol

Ive spent to much money this week. Booked a Caribou hunt yesterday for the first week of September. Looks like I will have to put my guide boots back on for spring bear to pay for these hunting habits.

Thanks again for the generous Donation Abe ! And congrats again Keith on the great win !

I will if some of your luck comes along with it Keith!  Look forward to seeing your bow when it is finished.  Seeing your taste in bows, I'm sure it will be a looker.
