...To improve skills as bass anglers through a Fellowship of friendly
exchange of bass catching techniques and to preserve the future of Bass Fishing through
conservation, youth and public awareness.
with Joel Zeigler of the Leaps of
Faith ?
Wounded Warrior Project.
The event was staged on Lake Lillinonah and the Bergen
volunteers assisted Friday and/or Saturday, June 24 and 25. Volunteering to help out
were John Williams, Doug Giachino, Scott Mitchell, Lance Cahoon, John Ernest,
Bob Murphy, Bill Vella, Ryan Vella, Nick Albano and of course Rob Curtis. Since he
doesn?t have a bass boat (yet), John Williams worked as a spotter on the ski boat. Besides
fishing and skiing, other activities included swimming, kayaking and canoeing. The
soldiers and volunteers had plenty to eat and the weather was perfect for all activities. HUGE
THANKS to the Bergen volunteers for helping out and I especially thank Rob Curtis for getting
us involved with such a great cause!
Bob Murphy, Nick Albano
and Bill Vella are ready for opening day at the Rockland Expo.
