Thanks to the sponsorship of member Jim Berklas, LTC hosted children and guides/mentors of the Mayfly Project for a few hours of fishing and outdoor fun. The May 16th event was a success thanks in part to members Mickey and Chris Michniewicz, Laury Gay and Gregge Shelton.
The Mayfly project helps children learn the joys of fly fishing as a way to find peace in their world. The group learns about fly fishing equipment, fly tying and then goes on field trips to try their luck catching trout. This organization is dedicated to helping children and more information can found here.
Little do we realize what an impact a day like this can have on these children. After landing a nice trout, one of the children told Mickey that, “This was the best day of my life.”
