Kodiak??

If so, then he also faces the problem of having a large number of the high school kids not "needing" to earn pocket money because a lot of them work in the fishing industry up there and earn quite a bit of money over the summer. Plus they all know that the Permanent Fund checks go out right about the time basketball is starting up and getting rolling. So the money aspect might attract some people, but not as many as it would in a different community.

Your best bet, AlaskaReffin, is you and the others in the group right now. You have to be very charismatic and outgoing in your approach to pulling people in. Emphasize the fun that you guys have doing what you do. I think that might work better than the $$ tactic. Make it a "brotherhood" or a network, and you might be able to get some people interested.
