Haven't seen or heard anything recently on Heroes On The Water. I do know about a year or so ago, a new group took over. Are they still still servicing our Vets or did they stop meeting. Any one have any info.

San Diego chapter seems to never recovered from COVID as the last post on their Facebook page was in 2019. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100081456573585

New Oceanside chapter held a social event in November, but their last fishing event was September of last year. https://www.facebook.com/HOWOceansideCA

During covid. The original chapter ended up folding when the Oceanside chapter was formed due to several scenarios that were present the original chapter gifted the new chapter all the equipment that they had accumulated including the truck, both trailers, and all kayaks and gear. Have not heard much since then and was wondering if they were still around and servicing our Vets.

I'd love to come back out and help. Unfortunately these days I don't have the time to dedicate to a leadership position but I'd volunteer. Disappointed about how it withered away. I really loved the time I got to spend with our vets and seeing the positive effect it had on them.

Totally understand that. It did take some time but totally worth it. There is no way I could do it now like before. Still dealing with major health issues that forced me to sell my truck a and yak for now. Still interested in helping were I can but can't seem to find any info on what is happening

If it starts up again, I've got a spare yak for you to use. Don't have all the toys like I used to though.
