On Saturday, June 14th, I had the pleasure of
attending the Lebanon County Special Olympics fishing event sponsored by the
Lebanon R Field & Stream Sports Club. The R Field & Stream
members stocked their pond for this event, and provided the reels and bait for
our use. The members were also on hand to teach and encourage us Athletes
in pursuit of the Great Catch! Quite a few fish were caught, along with a
few trees... Whoops! I don't think there are tree-fish!!! Many
Athletes had lots of success, whereas I, on the hand, was happy to catch one
catfish! The Sports Club members cleaned and cooked the fish, and helped
serve the fish, hamburgers, hot dogs, and French fries to the happy, hungry
Athletes!
Jerry Wolfe, an R Field & Stream member and LC SOPA supporter, mentioned an
idea for a fishing event at the last LC SOPA Annual Dinner/Auction in
March. Working with Jim Deininger, President of R Field & Stream, and
Judi Lentz, an R Field & Stream member and active supporter of LC SOPA,
they coordinated all of the details for this event. Not only did R Field
& Stream Sports Club sponsor this fishing event, but they also sponsored
the LC SOPA's last two Dinner/Auction events!
Thank you Jim, Jerry, and Judi, and R Field & Stream Sports Club for all of
your longtime, continued support of Lebanon County Special Olympics. We
Athletes truly appreciate all of your support and hard work, and we really enjoyed
the "fruits of our efforts" at this fun fishing event!
Sincerely,
Jessie Salness
Lebanon County Special Olympics Athlete Representative
