    August 2000

The Annual Poker Run is again sponsored by MMTA. Participants travel to various ports on Buzzards Bay and collect poker cards there.

A new event this year for MMTA sponsorship is the Falmouth Offshore Grand Prix Fishing Tournament, now in it’s 11th year. This event raises funds for the local Falmouth hospital and The Billfish Foundation. A major portion of our regional funds this year went to The Coalition for Buzzards Bay. This non-profit organization is dedicated to the protection, restoration, and sustainable use of Buzzards Bay and its watershed. On July 30th, the 7th annual Swim Buzzards Bay was held with about 60 swimmers going in the open water across Outer New Bedford Harbor. Contact Greg Glavin for sponsorship information - (508) 295-0338.

In local news, Capt. Bub’s Marine in Lakeville have donated a slip for the town’s new patrol boat. In the past the local police had to depend on the Mass. Environmental Police for any water duty. Captain Bub’s has also continued with their annual Father’s Day Fishing Trip with residents of a local nursing home. This is the 8th annual outing. The company is also planning an annual cookout for it’s pier patrons.
