The Cat Fish Roundup 2011
Here I am at my post in my chair several feet behind my son, camera ready to catch that exciting, wonderful moment when he pulls in that first fish. I stop and think a moment about how much work and how many people it took to make this happen. That big smile on my son's face, the pride and pleasure he got from landing that fish. What went into making this event happen
for all the special needs community up and down
this bank? I think about the tireless coordinators, the generous sponsors, the Olympia Place property we are allowed to use, the cat fish that are stocked for us, and the fishing poles and bait that are provided as well. The wonderful volunteers not only help with the fishing they make it make it fun to have a new friend for a day. We even get lunch,
how great is that! I just can't say enough
about this yearly event.
This year was extra special to me personally due to battles with breast cancer. I did not know if I would be up to attending but I was and as I said I was at my post as picture taker as I had hoped to be. My Thanks to all those many people -- sponsors, volunteers, known and unknown -- who brought joy and made the smiles, laughter, and victory dances possible for so many to enjoy.
Congratulations on another great year!!
Thank You, Lynn Sines ( 5 year attendee ) |
