Walleyes Chicago - "Fishing with a Vet day"

We are hosting a "Fishing with a Vet" day. This event is going to be on Saturday Sept 18th in Spring Valley, IL at the Spring Valley Boat Club. We will be launching at 8:00 am and returning at 2:00 pm. This is an opportunity for Vets to come out and enjoy a day of fishing on the Illinois river with our club members. We will supply all boats, tackle, bait and a barbque afterwards. Vets only need to show up with fishing license and there personal gear. Since this is our first year doing this we are limiting the # of spaces to 30.
If you know a Vet who would be interested or you would like to help out, please email me boflynn@walleyeschicago.com
This is a small way of saying thank you to all Vets who have sacrificed so much in order for us to enjoy the freedom that we sometimes take for granted.

Our 2nd Annual Fall tournament will be held the day after - Sunday Sept 19th

That sounds like a good idea,

would love to help with that!!!!



Thanks!

If you would like to be involved email me boflynn@walleyeschicago.com.

We still have 20 spots open for vets.. Also, if anybody knows someone who is serving overseas and wants to get thier children out for a day on the water.. We would love to have em. Walleyes Chicago is providing everything for the day on the river.. Boats,, tackle, bait,snacks and we are having a barbque afterwards generously donated by the Spring Valley Boat Club.

If anyone would like to donate a door prize, please contact me.
