I love your write up Raydon!!!

Looks Great,

  See ya soon!!!     

     Ciao...

We Just got confirmation that the VA will have between 15 to 17 Vets on the water.   We will have additional vets shore fishing.   We like to have one on one guides for tips on catching trout and for safety.    If you can help, please post here or pm me.  We will have enough kayaks but need guides. 

It looks good for a HOW event  on August 29 at San Pablo Res.  Right now we have 20 plus vets interested along with additional parents,  spouses and others.  If you want to give back to our brave soldiers this your chance.  Just let me know on this thread of your availability and I will be making the assignments.  The event normally gets rolling at 700am  and continues with clean up at 3pm.

Some thoughts:  Some vets have been with us before and  know the routine.  Others will be hesitant.  We want to welcome them, but don't be over exuberant.  Some will be with their therapists and won't go unless the therapists also goes.  Be friendly, be calm at all times, and let them make the decision as to go or not.  Some will just go kayaking, not kayak fishing.  Let them do whatever they want, except drown.   Don't ask them about their military experience.  If they want to tell you, just listen and make no judgments.

I want to thank you for giving of your time in helping with HOW.  If you get goose bumps and a really good feeling when you leave the event, relish it.   Many will thank you after the event, and you should pat yourself on the back.  You have given back.

If you have any extra waterproof  pants, shoes, windbreaker, gloves bring them,  Most vets come in civilian clothes not suited to get wet.  Just make sure you mark all you gear.

If I have overlooked something, please pm me.

Lets do this.
