I see tim that you are calling "your group" southern hot baot. Does that mean that you are NO longer part of the "BOTE" group. Raceboatrus00 is farther south then you. But Raceboatrus00 didn't do it for the "name thing". They are doing it for the kids. That is the way it should be.
Raceboatrus00 :You are doing a very good thing for the kids! :D Don't mind TIM. He has emulation problems. I wish we could make it. It sounds alot of fun!

we didn't "declined" we couldn't make it. The first two yrs we didn't have the money or time to take off. To drive 10hrs. This year we were planing to go and had the room reservied and money. The boat was ready to go. Up until one week before it was to happen. It was Everetts last football game. They didn't make the play offs. If you would like proof I can get it for you.
Now don't ruin a verynice thread. This is one for the TFT. :smile:

Hey Tab,
I have to go back to one of your comments on one of the other threads "know what your talking about" I think was your exact comment. Without ever coming to a Lake James event and without really knowing what we have done for the kids I don't think that you know what you are talking about. As a matter of fact the Southern Hot Boat group and others helped over 2000 families in the Burke County area last year with our Toys for Tots run. I don't think Tim was trying to say or put the name out there in anyway! I think he was just making a true statement to Mr. Raceboatrus00 that they are not the only toys for tots boating group. From all these post you have been making lately it’s obvious that you have a beef with Tim and are just siding with your Husband…. like I would also…. but really know what you are talking about before you start posting on the Lake James Toys for Tots run.

The "Southern Hot Boat" are for the southern states. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, everyone. Personnally, I would love to visit some lakes in FL. I heard their very nice.
We are NOT doing it for the "NAME THING", we are doing it for the kids (First and Last). Unlike some people think (remain namelss).
