Memorial Day observation and HOW - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

MVC · 05-24-2011, 09:37 AM

I have a son who is currently at the Marine Corp. Boot Camp in San Diego. His older brother was in the Marines and was wounded in Iraq in 2006. While he was at Brooks Hospital in Texas he was taken on 2 hunting trips by a similar group. These types of programs are great for our wounded soldiers. I would be willing to help in any way I can to get a So Cal chapter going.

As CJ mentioned this is a great organization. I was lucky enough to work with them during one of our shoots in Texas and was amazed how a little fishing could bring smiles to the faces of these brave Americans who were, earlier in the day, totally shut down.
I would love to support a group here and help in any way I can just do no have the hours to put into heading it up. So if someone wants to step up and carry the torch to get it going here I pledge my support in any way I can.

thanks for all the PM's guys. We are working on a benefit event put on through OEX/KFSupplies in which if at all possible Don from the Norcal chapter will be coming down. If he can make it I would like to have those that are serious about helping come to my house for some BBQ so we can hear about the difficulties of starting a chapter and pick his brain some.

Stay tuned for more info on this event and any others interested in helping Head a chapter please feel free to shoot em a PM or Email.

Thanks again for all the support of this great organization.

I'd like to help but not sure of what active role I will be able to help in. I have two kayaks.

i would also like to contribute to this cause. i am in the l.a. area so not too sure if i can contribute my time so much, but i would like to make a monetary contribution to help with the socal chapter.
if you need kayaks for these excursions i would like to volunteer mine whenever you need it. just advise accordingly.
