Paula Holland accepts position as Event President of our Morehead City event!

We are excited to announce that Paula Holland, of Beaufort, NC has accepted the Event President position with the organization! Paula will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of the event, normally held one weekend before the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament.

Paula has already been a rock star for the organization, leading several activities, helping secure a ton of donations, and securing the use of facilities like Olde Towne Yacht Club docks and crew for our Carrot Island family tour. She has even raised funds to pay for two pontoon boats used for that activity.

She is stepping up to help as we hope others will, if you see Paula thank her, and lets support her as much as possible during this time! She is already at work on the 2018 event!
