Just a little bit about how the fishing derby is run and how we get out donations and how we use them.

Our Staff

There are 6 main people on the committee, Paul Heisey, Charles Morris, Amy Heisey-Morris, Eric Morris, David Heisey, and Gary Lawson. Amy does all the paperwork, letters, and thank you notes, David writes to all the major corporations such as Zepco, Magic Bait, Eagle Claw, Shakespeare and so on. Everyone of us is responsible for getting monetary donations and other donations from the community. We as a committee decide on what is going to happen at the derby and how things are handled. I know this year (2006) we had some unhappy parents on the way things are done. We try the best we can to make things fair and equal to all children. It costs the fishing derby $375.00 to stock the pond with the fish that is necessary for the children to catch. We go out and buy some prizes that were not donated that is needed. Some of this is out of pocket expense that we do. This is why we decided to do the raffle to try to raise some money for the derby for the next year. A big thank you to all the parents that helped out with this. All donations that we get in the Derby year is all gave away and we start new the next year. Nothing is kept it is all given away. If any one has any questions or concerns feel free to contact us via email or give us a call.

A big thank you

We would still like to thank all that donated last year, and a big thank you to all that would donate this year. We really do appreciate all the help in donations, there is no donation to small all is helpful.

Our group did a great job last year going to the local buissness' and getting donations to pay for the stocking of the fish, and Dave did a wonderful job getting donations of the prizes for the kids from places like Zebco, Magic Bait Company, and other places of the sort.
