KECC Open Charity Tourney at Taylorsville October 3

[jwp]

Fellas, this is a tournament hosted by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Division of Environmental Services, which is my employer. KECC stands for Kentucky Employees Charitable Campaign, which an annual fundraising effort that generated over a million dollars in 2008 for over 1,000 charitable programs across the Commonwealth. Employees contribute thru salary deduction, one-time donations, and participating in fundraisers.

This my first year to be involved with KECC (you can visit the website www.KECC.org for more info) and have learned of the good work that the money is going towards. I've also learned that requests for help have really spiked this year as many people have lost their jobs.

My bass fishing coworkers and I decided to host a bass tournament as our fundraising event. One of the first organizations to step forward to offer help was FLW Outdoors (specifically Bill Taylor), who is providing us with a FLW weigh trailer and has donated two FLW Co-angler entry certificates as door prizes! My hat is off to FLW and to Mr. Taylor! We are also getting good support from other organizations, businesses and individuals who alos deserve a big thanks.

We are still looking for donations of tackle, promotional items, food, gift cards, and money to help make this event a great success, and hopefully the first of many KECC open tourneys.

Please consider donating any items that you might have to spare that we could use as prizes for our cornhole and casting contests which will take place after the tournament.

All donations can be sent to:

Ms. Elly Hixon
KYTC
Div. Env. Services/5th floor
200 Mero St
Frankfort, KY 40622
502-564-7250

I'm the tourney director and can be reached at 502-330-7889

Thanks for your support and look forward to seeing you on October 3!!!
