Anyone in or near Sioux Falls

My daughter sent me this flyer. They are having problems getting people to clean fish for this event. I know the IDO family has a heart of gold so I am asking anyone in the Sioux Falls area to please consider this. I am thinking on taking a day off and going out and helping out and if any of you that live in western Minnesota or eastern South Dakota could spare a half day or so I am sure it would be well worth your effort in the smiles you will see.

It’s that time again! Spring is finally here and so is the time of year when we help nursing home residents, children with special needs and adults as they have the wonderful experience of fishing for trout.

Once again we are asking for assistance for Catch A Rainbow. The event is scheduled for May 9, 10, 11, and 12 at Spellerberg Park Swimming Pool
(near the Park Ridge Mall, just east of the VA Hospital)
The event shifts will run from 9 A.M. to noon and 1 P.M. to 4 P.M. each day.

We appreciate all the help you have provided in the past and hope that you will be able to join us again this year.
Help is needed with Fishing, Cleaning Fish, and Moving buckets from the fishing stations to the cleaning station (wagons are available).

Cleaning trout is easy, if you haven’t done it before we will have someone available to show you, we always struggle trying to find enough people to clean fish!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Alison Eden 362-2728.

You know Redneck…Rich?

That’s a great idea to get people fishing.

I think it’s a little hard for us to imagine fishing in a swimming pool.

Kinda makes a person appreciate what I take for granted all too often.

You know BK, I bet the squeals you hear when someone catches the fish of a lifetime are the same if it is on the river or fishing in a swimming pool somewhere in the city. The event really does give some of these people their only opportunity to experience anything close to the outdoors. My daughter emailed me this morning wanting to know if I had found anyone at all and I had to sadly report that I hadn’t yet. If anyone lives in the Sioux Falls area I ask you to read the flyer and think about what this group is trying to do.

I am going to bump this to the top one more time in case there is someone from around Sioux Falls who missed this the first time. I will be there doing my part on Thursday and I know for a fact they are short on people for all the days.
