To all FNN Members,
Today, many foster kids go without having a mentor of some fashion in their life to share memories and to be taught something valuable they can do for a lifetime.
As a social worker and avid fisherman, I was asked at a county meeting by Department of Children & Family Service Chair Members where all the MALE mentors/role models are????? My reply? Ummmmm. Fishing!!!!!
I am starting a Fishing Mentor Program for the 2010 fishing season(s) and invite any FNN member or (organizations associated with it of interest) you may know of to be a fishing mentor for a kid in the foster program. I am inviting Women and Men!!!!!
Its easy, one year committment to a kid, be 21 or older, short weekend fishing trips at our local LA County lakes, along with free laker/clipper games, dodger games, cultural events and most importantly: make great memories for someone less fortunate than us.
If you are truely interested or know someone or a group who might be, please PM me so I can provide you more information and details.
I feel us fishermen can make a huge impact with this program in which the entire county and city of Los Angeles would be very proud of.
Sincerely,
Charles
