The 19th Annual Fishing Kids event is coming up on June 7th.  WBC has been involved in it since the very beginning. I hope that we can get a bunch of you to come down and volunteer again this year.  We have two opportunities to help.  On Friday the 6th we tie up the rods & reels from 4:00pm until done.  Then Saturday that's we you get to work with the kids and help them catch fish... for many it is their first fish.  What a HOOT!!  I hope that I can get many of you to help both days.

If you plan to come, please e-mail me and let me know which day(s) you are able to make it.  We will have 600 kids (100 at a time) waiting for you.

e-mail me at jim@castforkids.org

Thankx!!

I'll be there!  Will get down there on Friday around 6 to help with rod/tackle assembly, and will be there at 7:30 Saturday morning.

It's a fun time and I encourage everyone to join in!

Smiley A good time was had by all that attended. The kids and parents are so thankful for those of us willing to volunteer our time to provide the opportunity for them to fish.

A big Thank you to all the WBC members that helped out at the Fishing Kids event this year.  You guys are the BEST!!

Sorry I missed the event again this year, but I had 50 wounded warriors down at West Point Lake in Georgia that needed some help to go have a fun day fishing.

I look forward to seeing all of you and more at the CAST event on Sept. 6th and the Take A Warrior Fishing event on Sept. 20th.  Both on Lake Washington.

Take Care and have a great time on the water this summer.
