Standing Up for Those Who Have Stood Up for Us

Received the following note and poster in my email yesterday from Sid Ryan (see poster below for Sid's phone number and email address), who still needs volunteers to help make the 2019 USO Warrior Week and Fishing for Our Troops events a success. As Sid noted, he's still looking for boat captains for the May 31 gathering at Munden Point. In his words, "This is an opportunity to take a service member fishing for a few hours and enjoy a day on the water." Here are all the details:

     * Volunteers need to be at Munden Point Park by 7:00 a.m. on Friday, May 31^st.

     * Please bring spare life jackets for the FFOT participants to use.

     * You are also asked to have a fishing rod and reel for the participants to use.

     * DO NOT PAY for the boat ramp at Munden Point. Boat ramp fees are covered by the sponsor.

     * Lunch will be served for ALL volunteers.

     * Last year, there were door prizes for the volunteers, and each boat captain was given a $50 Bass Pro Shops gift card by the sponsor. I anticipate that the boat captains will receive an appreciation gift again this year.

     * They are adding LIVE MUSIC at this year's event.
