Thank you to West Side Baptist Church and Darrin and Dana Wells for a very successful chili supper last night. These proceeds will cover the registration fees and lodging for our fishing tournaments. That is a huge expense off of the students' families so they can all just enjoy fishing! We are also very proud of the Anglers that showed up to serve the meal and help clean up! This is a gret bunch of young men and young ladies.
Thank you for your support!
