Hi Allan,
We can go with 4 sets, would do 2 frames - for the auction and one for Dot.
The last 2 sets are for fishing purpose, I guess.
But first of all, we need a host in the US. Any taker?

P.S. is 'host' the correct word?

Great idea, Rene, but we need 4 sets. One for the Sowbug, one for Dot,
one for Robert and one for the host.
Dot is moving to New Jersey with her daughter Gina so she and Robert
will be about 1,200 miles (2,000 Km) apart.
I won’t be able to tie until around February or March because my gear
is packed up for a double move. I have to be in a tiny apartment till
my cottage is built. Obviously I won’t be able to host.

Folks, fellow VFB Members and Tiers (Tyers),
In the past, we did a couple of swaps to honor certain members. I
would like to pick up this for a really memorable tyer who passed
away recently.
I suggest that we run a swap to honor Tony Spezio.
Unfortunately I cannot host it, as it makes no sense to send the
contribution to Europe and back to the USA.
So, as a first step I'm looking for someone in the US who is willing
to help (Let's call him/her host for now). I assume that it would
make sense if this member is close to the NAFF in Mtn Home, AR.
My idea is, that the participants ty one to three flies, send them in
to the host. The host will frame the flies, so that they can be
handed over to the NAFF and they can auction the frame off during the
next Sowbug. The NAFF might use the money for a good purpose in
Tony's name.
We can use paypal to send the financial contribution to the host for
the frame etc.
My idea is, that we send in 3 flies, one for the NAFF frame, one
frame for Dot / Robert (Tony's son), and the 3rd set is for the host
for is effort. Maybe he can distribute a picture of the frame, so all
participants have something what they can can frame and put it at the
wall.
I would do the usual stuff on this list, to keep things going.
However, I need input from the host while the flies are arriving.
I'm open for sure for better ideas, but I really would like to get a
"Tony's swap" running.
Please don't sign up for now. First, we need a volunteer for the
'host' in the US.
Best
Rene
