“VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES”
W
The Co-Presenters of the Lincoln Fish n’
Kids Fishing Derby: the KIWANIS Club of Lincoln, Lincoln Police
Activities League (PAL), Lincoln Hills Fishing Group (LHFG), and Big M
Fishery invite “YOU” to become a volunteer in assisting presenting this
world class fishing derby for the youth of our “All America City,”
Lincoln, California.
There are actually three different types
of Volunteer Opportunities that “YOU CAN” become involved in with our
Fishing Derby:
1.
EVENT PLANNING ASSISTANT:
Our Derby Steering Committee
oversees many vital functional areas that are minimally required in
order to make this fantastic annual youth event happen.
The Committee is always looking for individuals who would be
interested in “ASSISTING” our Steering Committee staff in a variety of
areas (Administrative, Budget, Revenue Generation, Publicity,
Registration, Food/Beverage, Event T-Shirts, etc.).
NOTE:
If “YOU” are interested in “ASSISTING” as an “Event Planning
Assistant,” please contact Derby Steering Committee Chairperson, Don
Moura @ (916) 215-4233.
2.
FISHING MENTORS: Here
is an opportunity for “YOU” to become a fishing mentor for a young
person between the ages of 7 to 12.
Important to know is that while having some fishing experience is
“Nice To Have,” it is “Not Required” to be one of our Fishing Mentors.
We provide all of the equipment.
If you have expertise, great, if not, we provide “YOU” with a
Training Session for those of you that are not familiar with fishing and
the special “Quick Release Hooks” and the “Equipment” that we will be
using. We expect to have
100-125 children fishing..........some of them for the first time in
their life.........Believe us when we say that “You Won’t Believe The
Smiles On These Kid’s Faces.”
We need to have fishing mentors showing them how to fish safely,
and how to execute the “catch-and-release” method of fishing.
Our goal is to match up a fishing mentor with one child, however,
realistically you will be probably working with two kids.........Double
The Fun! At least one parent
is required to be present with each child for supervision.
