Good Afternoon Everyone,

I just wanted to drop a small update on the Reel Recovery work being done in Arkansas. Our Reel Recovery Day at the Beaver Dam Store is picking up steam. We have setup a Facebook event that I have been updating periodically with information and donation updates. Along with this, we just launched the website for the event.
www.BeaverDamDay.com
I will be using this in conjunction with the Facebook event to keep everyone up to date on what happening leading up to our fundraiser.

Come out to see Ken off on March 27th. There will be a number of boats, canoes, and kayaks. He is currently getting in contact with the Mayors at the city's he will be stopping at. Hopefully we will see him pop up on the news or in the paper.

Retreat Number 1 has been set. We will be having it a Spring Valley Anglers near Gravette on April 19th - 21st. Kevin Calhoun is heading up the volunteers and the "ins/outs" of this retreat. Please contact him with any questions. We are also still looking for participants, so if you know of a man who either is currently or has in the past battled cancer, please point him to the Reel Recovery website.

As always, thank you for your continued support.

Zack Hoyt
