MEA and Ringwood FCS

Hi everyone. The following is from the RWFC site.
Please help us out if you can. The more votes the better!

As many already know the newly formed Metro East Anglers Inc. have been working very hard to continue operating the Ringwood Fish Culture Station going forward from here. At our first official meeting we outlined the program. Its primary focus will be the continued Restoration of the Coho Stocking Program for Lake Ontario. With the loss of the OFAH earlier this year and many of it's sponsors a need to fill a large funding hole has became part of the responsibilities of our membership.

That being said one of our long outstanding members and supporters Ettore DellaAquila has decided to throw our hat into a competition ring for community funding support. Great Job Ettore.

The address is as follows and all details can be viewed there:

The idea here, as I understand it, is that THE MOST VOTES move forward in the competition. Aviva will receive hundreds of ideas but only those that our supported with the best numbers will move forward. I ask all supporters of Ringwood to make an effort to get us as many votes possible and help us win the funding we need to continue these types of programs. This would very much help us concentrate on what we have done best for the last five years. Raising and stocking our Salmon/Trout into Lake Ontario.

Voting starts October 3rd, 12:00PM

Please feel free to help me get the word out. Facebook, Twitter and all the other social media sites are the best way to attack this competitions. I am told. Please post on your walls!

Thanks for your Support

Thanks for that update.


I applaud the initiative

Can you advise as to why OFAH bowed out?

They didn't really give a reason as far as I know........

As some one said at the general meeting of MEA.
"They took all their chairs and went home".
They even asked us to take down all signage with their logos.

A reminder that today we begin our attempt to win this contest. Your support is crucial.
It begins at 12 noon and will run til Oct 19th. If I understand the rules properly every individual has 15 votes. You can use those votes on a single idea or spread them over several. However if you decide to use all your 15 votes on a single idea then they must be cast on different days.

Going back daily is an inconvenience I know but the cause is an important one and I hope you feel the same way.

To vote just click the link I have provided in my original post and follow the instructions for registering.

If anyone has something else they have read in the rule book that I have missed please post it here and lets make this a campaign to win.

Please get the word out. The ideas with the most votes go forward in this contest all others fail.


Thanks for your help,
Safe Fishing First,

It may be they got seed funding to support the Atlantic program...

Way to go all......we have made it to round 2.
Please continue to vote and pass the word around.
