It was great to meet you today Rodney.

  Randy once again did an amazing job organizing this event for the kids and I know how hard he works at this and it turned out great. The kids all had a great time and every year you see such an improvement with their skills. Great job everyone involved.

So MRSS has a fly fishing club? Can anyone confirm this? I ask because next year my son will be attending MRSS and it would be great to get him involved.

Thanks Geff. I will be talking to my son tonight to see if he is interested in joining. It would be nice to see him take an interest in something him and I can enjoy together.

Get involved yourself B. During the seven years I coordinated to clubs in Poco we were always short handed.

Getting your son or daughter involved with one of these clubs and then participating yourself is a great way to include yourself in their world. They are growing up and they grow up with you or without you. Once the mold has been cast you can't change it later.

If the club allows me to be involved for sure I am there. I wouldnt pass up that opportunity.
