Greetings!

 

Our Annual "Take a Kid Fishing" Event has been a great success for the past two years. We have a special need for volunteer with boats willing to drive them on July 13th 9:30am-5:00pm with youth who may not normally have gotten the chance to go fishing. Onboard would be another adult and two youth. Contact me with questions about this unique and fulfilling opportunity!

 

Warmest regards,

 

Riley
