Sorry we’ve been quiet! Since our inception in June, we have been so busy. We’ve been incredibly blessed to have received a great deal of equipment donations. Thank you to (Dave Souders )and (Phil Morales) for your generosity. Mark and (fellow board member - Robbie Hunziker)traveled to Orlando for , made some wonderful connections, met with some of our wonderful sponsors, and helped get our name out there. Mark set up temporary shop this week with the help of fellow board member, (Drake Poiencot). We welcomed (Todd Nugent) to our board. Todd dedicated 30 years in the fire service and is also a Navy Veteran.
We’re currently getting back into the rhythm of rod building, and are preparing for our first local outreach event - Hero Fest in Houma, LA. Stop by, show support, and buy some raffle tickets for the chance to win a fishing rod - made by a veteran! More details to come. Thank you everyone for your support. We hope to begin trips as soon as possible. Your generosity and contributions help us get veterans, first responders and law enforcement officers to learn this amazing craft and get out on the water!
Yours truly,
Shirley and everyone here at CBTC 🇺🇸
