Veteran`s buddy Tournament

The Saluki Basser`s - Veteran`s buddy Tournament

Hey folks, our annual veteran`s buddy tournament is coming up soon this month, so we figured now would be a good time to remind everyone what it is, and whom it is for.

Every year, The Saluki Bassers - SIUC bass team hosts a buddy tournament where we pair our members up with a local United States Military Veteran and have fun competing in a day of tournament style fishing on local lake "Lake of Egypt".

Our current "but still tentative"date for this event is scheduled Sunday March 27th, 2011

Our team expects nothing in return from our veterans for this day of fishing expect for them simply showing up for a day of fishing. This is just our teams way of saying thank-you for their years of  service keeping our country safe and protecting our freedom to do what we love.

Currently however, we are looking to build support from previous years, and are asking other fishing teams in the area to donate their time to this noble cause. Therefore, if your team is at all interested in helping out by bringing more boater members to get more veterans on the water, we ask that you contact our team president Nathan Bochniack at nbochia@siu.edu for more information about how to help.

Also for more information about this event please feel free to read about this event in last years "Daily Egyptian" newspaper at the following link.

We want to again thank all of our veterans for their years of  service keeping our country safe and protecting our freedom to do what we love.
