This was a "lifetime" event. The participating ladies were well over and above "patients" but more like "healers", to themselves, to each other, and to everyone who celebrated life and this outstanding retreat together. The Hartford raised over $38,000 so each participant had no expense. TCTU donated reels and web info; "Laughing Trout" donated a custom bamboo rod with a TFO loaded reel and a TCTU box filled with custom tied flies for all participants; St. Croix donated 16 rod blanks and reduced pricing on the rod tubes(funded by TCTU) while ATI donated the hardware for them and Dave Mayer is building and personalizing each rod for the 14 participants; TFO provided loaded reels for a fraction of the cost; Cabela's donated fly tying kits; Sarah Sanford was the fairy queen for the fly tying and fly fishing content; "15 River Helpers from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri; organizers and support staff from Minnesota, Missouri and as far away as Connecticut; and countless others.
Kim Rasmussen and her group of volunteers is already organizing the retreat for 2010 so get your name in early!
Watch for a raffle of custom rods, float trips and other items with proceeds going to CFR.
