On
Saturday September 23, 9 Pioneers assisted the
Cast
For Kids Foundation
in presenting
a day of fishing at Rodger Williams Park in Providence RI.
Although the day was overcast and we got rained on a couple of times, this
did not dampen Pioneer spirits nor those of the children attending the
event.
Unfortunately the rain kept some of the families away, but about 18
children from Trudeau Center and Make A Wish made it to the event.
Pioneers assembled bags of goodies w hich
each child received along with a fishing rod and tackle box to keep. They
were taken out onto the lake by members of the BASS fishing clubs.
Pioneers provided picture buttons and pictures as they came off the boats
which were placed in wooden
plaques. Pioneers also arranged for face painting and for the
Salvation Army food truck which provided morning and lunch refreshments.
Everyone had a wonderful time both attending and volunteering at this
event. We look forward to partnering again next year and hope for an even
bigger crowd (and sun). see
