"Waving for James" Benefit/Fundraiser

[Lake Chuck Duck]

I'm sure alot of people on this site knew James Verret. He was an avid boater and offshore fisherman. He was Captain of his boat, Anchor Management, which he took out every chance he could. He was a great guy that loved to talk to and teach something to everybody he met. James recently lost a 10 year battle with brain cancer. In 2001 after being hospitalized from a car wreck, they found a massive tumor in his brain. He survived 10 years with multiple brain surgeries, and even right down to his last days he never lost that spirit that everyone loved.

One of James's random passions was having "wave parties", which is literally sitting in chairs in the front yard drinking beer and waving at every car that passes buy. Its fun and it puts a smile on the face of strangers going down the road brightening their day. So in honor of James we are having a wave party and fundraiser.

The event will be tomorrow from 12-6 at 2728 West Prien Lake Rd, Lake Charles. The house is on the corner where you turn to go to the prien boat launch if coming from wal mart. Across from the massive new church. There will be food, drinks, DJ, a giant water slide, fun jump, face painting, a live and silent auction, and of course.....waving. Auction items include: Guided fishing trips to Big Lake and Toled Bend, a full weekend stay at a Toledo Camp, Guided duck and goose hunts, concert tickets, golf lessons, lawn services, framed artwork, Mcneese and LSU memoribilia, massages, car washes, dinner at a chef's house, massive bbq pit, kayak, DJ services, shlitterbahn passes, dog training sessions, window tint, xbox 360, and much more. Parking will be at the big church on the corner.

All proceeds will go to help James's wife Leah and his 2 young kids, Jackson and Madie, with bills and whatever other needs that they need met. So please come out and help us honor a great man and a great fisherman tomorrow! And dont forget, bring your chair for the wave party!
