Volunteers needed- 2nd Annual Fletcher’s Boathouse Veterans Family Shad Fishing Gala, April 21, 2017

[Ernie]

Pete O'dell and I work with a group (http://fco.ketrick.org/home) that offers community based fishing activities as a tool to encourage social, mentoring and networking opportunities for all involved, in a program that emphasizes health and life-­cycle to Wounded Heroes and veterans. We have an event at Fletcher's on April 21 and we would love to see TPFR get involved.

We will have 10-12 boats at the ready to take out our participants (guides needed) and we also would like to have some shore activities such as; fly tying, fly rod casting instruction and shoreline fishing. This is where TPFR can really help. It would be great to get some of you folks to support this event.

Here is the write up: Join us for the 2nd annual Fletcher’s Boathouse Veterans Family Shad Fishing Gala, an informal, shore and boat shad fishing event for Wounded, Injured or ILL Heroes, Veterans and their families.  DC-area government and NGO fisheries program representatives, and Department of Defense and Veterans Service organizations are also encouraged to participate.

This event is part of the BLM/FCO Fisheries for Veterans Project, using America’s public lands and fishing resources to revitalize and reconnect American communities and heroes

Please let me know if you are interested. Better yet, just go here- http://fco.ketrick.org/ncr/shad2017 - to sign up as a volunteer.

Many thanks!

As of right now I will not be in town this weekend. However, I am the new Coalitions Director for the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs majority and am interested in evoking involved with future veterans-related events. Those of you with ties to project healing waters and other vets groups, I'd love to chat about how I might be of service. Anyone can email me at ala...@gmail.com.
Best,
Alex Large
