Wanted to let you know about an opportunity to get involved with a local chapter of “Project Healing Waters” (PHW). PHW is dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of injured and disabled military service personnel and disabled veterans through fly fishing and associated activities including education and outings.
Our contact for PHW is Brian Steckler. Brian’s email is PHWFF.SF…@gmail.com and phone is (831) 402-1584. Please contact Brian ASAP if you can help, especially with the June 1st event and the July outing. I have enclosed Project Healing Waters FAQ.
Below are some of the activities they will be doing this summer and need volunteers.
