WELL THEN, AS WE DONATED OUR TIME, ENERGY, EFFORTS AND $$ TO THIS WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS A GREAT CAUSE…….WE HAVE BEEN HAD!!!!
SILVER SPONSORS:
We as a team signed up for” in kind sponsor” silver”. Our job…obvious, promote the charity event, cover it, and take pictures. As many of you know what we do. We were asked to leave via owner : I was with Des, my new photographer and ad rep whom just finished her last chemo treatment wanting to work. This is what she got………
Well, we put our entire weekend aside for this as you all know charities are near and dear to me personally, that is why we are doing this blog!!!! We got screwed! 13 weeks of promotion, seen in 400 countries, 368 Social media and not to mention the RSS fees that picked up because we are so super powerful. And wait, more………We donated an ad on my sites for the auction………..and brought my new Photographer Des, who wants to work and not feed the system. It is all about Charity Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge.Owners Mark Mandela and Marty Harrity of Doc Fords told us to leave……….we got some pictures. (photo credit Des and anyone that could take one? lol..nice job Doc Fords) Great job Harrity… are you kidding us?? Please phony, politician…..City council……..get your game on……..we have never done a negative post……..this was below the belt on their part……….here is all we got……..sorry all……….complain to Mr. Marty on the City Council (lol, what a joke!) You sure liked our camera’s when you where up for election 2009………..Remember? we do. We have all the pics and emails from you and your cronies……….BRING IT!
Birgie Vertecsch Welcomed us with a hug and our press passes. Gm comes out and states”We need to leave and now” Well, mighty kind………..Capt’s, clients, sponsors and even any of the staff was astonished. So many wanted their picture taken with logo (obviously). So we are so sorry to say this is all we got……Emails, Text messages and phone calls came pouring in…………..like Crazy. We have done tons of fundraisers………..this was way out of line. Birgie was…… a great friend of mine……..no longer…texting us late apologizing, saying out of her control……um can you say BS? …..FAILED! and to put the anglers in the the lightening with crazy bad weather. Of Course after they all paid a hefty fee to support or what they though would be supportive no one cared about the safety. And behind her was out right WRONG! MARTY HARRITY AND BIRGIE VERTESCH KNOW BETTER………..they put people in harms way. Dangerous. Tons of emails, texts and phone calls came pouring into me………outraged.
IF YOU DID NOT HEAR IT IT YET, THANK YOU ALL THAT SUPPORTED……….YOUR HEARTS ARE CORRECT……NOT SURE ABOUT THE EVENT…BUT LIKE YOU , WE TOO TRIED TO THE RIGHT THING……LUV LUV Sandy Kostick!!!!!
