Many Bass Club’s Jan. 2022 Tournament Results

The Many Bass Club kicked off the new year with its first Toledo Bend Tournament of the 2022 year on the 8th and 9th of January. Temperatures were moderate to cool but the club had to fish in variable and difficult conditions both days with periods of high winds, rain, and bright skies. A significant cold front earlier in the week had dropped the water temps to the mid to low fifties. The weather had the fish hunkered down, not biting, and the anglers struggled to catch them very well. Nineteen members fished and only two limits of five fish were weighed in. The members had the option to fish either Saturday or Sunday and the winning stringer was weighed in on Saturday.

Christmas has come and gone, but the memories linger on. We had such a supportive community I’d like to publicly THANK the following groups and organizations. Central School National Honor Society, St. Joseph Catholic Church, Living Waters Ministries, Mansfield Middle School Student Council, Sis Shaw’s Coffee Club, WebCorp, Fellowship Baptist Church of Converse, NAUW, and Christ Memorial Episcopal Church of Mansfield. We couldn’t have done it WITHOUT YOU! I don’t like listing names in fear of omitting someone, but I do believe I got them all. Again, your love and giving to MNC was a true blessing.

HLH Team Harley T Shirts for Sale for Teen with Rare Blood Disorder

Article Image Alt Text

Those that know the Hults family are aware of Harley’s diagnosis of the rare blood disorder, Hemopagocytic Lymphohisticytosis. It usually occurs in infants and children, but can appear in adults as well. Children usually inherit the disease.

If you have HLH, your body’s defense system, called your immune system, does not work normally. Certain white blood cells, histiocytes and lymphocytes, attack your other blood cells. These abnormal blood cells collect in your spleen and liver, causing these organs to enlarge.
