The Order Of Naucratius - West Michigan We share the good news through our relationships with God, each other, and creation.

The order of Naucratius is a community of hunters and anglers engaged in the spiritual practice of sharing our harvested abundance with neighbors experiencing hunger. We commit ourselves to three rules of life: Prayer, Conservation, and Charity. We believe that hunting and fishing are sacred activities, and with that premise, our goal is to help connect local hunters and fishers who have harvested in abundance with people who are hungry. The primary way we accomplish this goal is through encouraging local fishers and hunters to share portions of our harvests with those who are hungry through local feeding programs and churches who are engaged in feeding people.

Sunday was day three for us (and day two of the Pro AM) of the Benzie Fishing Frenzie! With a somewhat shaky start, the boats were called in early due to building seas and waves. Boats had to be in the pier heads by 10 am!

Thanks to Alexander Joseph Fergus for insisting that we persevere. Thanks to Kaye Anne Gaugier-Evans and Rinn Evans for coming 2 1/2 hours early to collect fish. Without y'all, day three would not have happened.

Our other amazing volunteers today included Tim Foster, Mike Ranck, Jane Hawley, Wendy Hedeen, and me, Joy Foster.
Thanks to all of our collective efforts, we were able to make another donation to Empire Area Food Pantry, The Baby Pantry at St. Philip's Episcopal Church-Beulah, MI, and Benzie Area Christian Neighbors!

Thanks to Scotty Mac for making such wonderful announcements encouraging fishers to donate all or part of their catch. And, of course, Steveo Joslin, for always including us in this amazing event!

Day Two at the Benzie Fishing Frenzie! With 75 boats participating on Day One of the Pro-Am, we collected and processed a generous amount of fish today! Thanks to Benzie Area Christian Neighbors for opening up to us; we were able to deliver salmon to their Food Pantry! We are also sending salmon to the Empire Area Food Pantry.

Thanks to the generous competitors and fishers who donated a part or all of their catch today; it will feed our neighbors!

Our amazing crew of volunteers today included:
Barb Markel, Lin Reed, Tim Foster, Mike Ranck, Teresa Peiffer, Jane Hawley, Barb Wirtz, Patty Higgins, Rob Meyer, Kim McKinney, Terri Conroy, Alexander Joseph Fergus, and Joy Foster.

We hope the weather holds for Sunday. We will be back for day 3!

Dear Friends,

We can use your help at the Big Red Classic on Thursday and Friday (7/30 & 7/31). You will find us at the beautiful Yacht Basin Marina in Holland. Look for the big Community Action House re**er truck.

We collect, process, and donate God-grown protein to local feeding programs, including the Community Action House (Holland), and The Baby Pantry at St. Philip's Episcopal Church-Beulah, MI.

Honestly, the work is kinda messy, but so much fun! Come join our awesome crew of volunteers help our food-insecure neighbors. ALL are welcome.

Day two (could have, would have, should have been day three) at the Benzie Fishing Frenzie. Despite the setbacks of losing a day and a reduced number of fishers (53 boats this year / 89 last year), we made it a great day on Sunday! Awesome volunteers, and some generous fish donations from the participating boats.

The moment the weigh-in was completed, the rain started. Our crew finished up at the processing station and then headed to Benzie Area Christian Neighbors to deliver two coolers of processed fish for neighbors. We have some more in our freezer from Friday that we will add to their inventory.

All in all, we had a great afternoon together and look forward to our next adventure.

Today's roster:
Barb Markel, Barb Wirtz, Jane Hawley, Kaye Evans, Lin Reed, Rinn Evans, Rob Meyer, Teresa Peiffer, Tim Foster, Wendy Hedeen, Alex Fergus, and Joy Foster

Day One for The Order of Naucratius at the Benzie Fishing Frenzie! Today was the Ladies' Tournament, where we collected a fair amount of fish. The first day always seems to be very short and sweet.

We are looking forward to the Pro Am tournament on Saturday and Sunday, and the abundance of fish for the charities we support.

The highlight of the day was our new volunteer, Jane Hawley. She jumped right in and collected and bagged fish. We are happy that she had fun and will be back to volunteer again tomorrow!
