Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing is a national organization dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and veterans through fly fishing and fly tying education and outings. A very active NJ group works with veterans from the VA hospital in Lyons, NJ, holding fly tying sessions and hosting fishing outings at the Pequest hatchery and other locations, and they could always use more help. Please contact our own JSTU member David Bucko, the NJ State Coordinator for Project Healing Waters, to find out more information about this fine program or to volunteer some of your time and talent.
The Jersey Shore Chapter of TU will again be hosting a Fishing Derby at the Monmouth County Park Systems annual Outdoor Adventure Expo which will be held this year on May 20, 2012.

Help is also needed to staff the JSTU booth at the Expo. Please consider volunteering for this fun and important outreach event. Contact Jim Ketchersid for more information or to volunteer to help.
