Title: 2008 Fish'n'Friend for Crossroads for Youth Sat Jul 26, 2008 on Lake Orion
Post by: djkimmel on May 01, 2008, 01:34:20 AM
It's coming together now. We will need about 25 boater volunteers to take out the kids from Crossroads for Youth (http://www.crossroadsforyouth.org/) in our 3rd annual Fish'n'Friends event.

Saturday July 26th 2008
Lake Orion public ramp near Oxford MI
Fish from ~7 AM until 11:30

Luncheon at Crossroads for Youth hall in Oxford Mi on Drahner Rd

Please make a difference in a child's life and volunteer to help out as a boater or other volunteer. Take a kid fishing. Boaters will go in a drawing for a free Garmin NUVI.

Boater volunteers, please be at the public ramp on Lake Orion by 6:30 AM to prepare.

Anthony Adams and I will be arranging rods, reels, tackle boxes and life jackets (for the day only) to use. We are still working on live bait so bring some if you can. Panfish-sized hooks are helpful to. We are not sure what terminal tackle we will have yet. The goal is for everyone - kids and chaperones - to catch something for our 'contest!' If you would like to donate towards these needs too, that would be greatly appreciated.

Important - all boaters please contact me (http://www.greatlakesbass.com/fishing/contact.html) ahead of time so we can make sure we have enough boats to take 50 or so kids out fishing!
