Fly Fishing Stars Beat the Heat

Fellow Fly Fishers,

Can you believe it? It has been less than two weeks since our retreat together. I hope this note finds you proud with accomplishment, smiling from your experience and still a bit relaxed. Heaven knows we’re finally a little cooler.

A great time was enjoyed by everyone. From the DNR and the fish photos, to stepping into the river to fish for the first time, being on television, catching a few trout, all the laughter, hugs and tears, and actually casting a fly rod, to the friendships that blossomed, the flotillas downstream, good food - you name it – it was unforgettable.

Many thanks to all the volunteers who took time out of their schedules and helped us on and off the river. They are quite a unique bunch – and memorable as well. (continued below)

As you can see, a few of the photos from our time together have been incorporated into this note. I’d like to remind you that in the near future we will be sending out contact information of all participants and volunteers, as well as the generous supporters and donors who helped make the retreats possible. Many more photos are being cropped and touched-up so we may print them for everyone too.

We're delighted to share the link to the video clip that featured Reeling & Healing Midwest on the Channel 9&10 Morning News last week. Click here to go to the webpage that has the clip. You will see the title "Flyfishing helps some survive breast cancer". Look for the "Play Video" phrase just underneath the title, click it and watch the two minute story.

We’re planning to mail our newsletter in October. If you would like to submit a story, quote, poem, photo, etc., please forward it to us by September 15th. Additionally, if you have photos that you would like us to copy/print and distribute or have placed on the website, just mail them to our address below.

We’ll keep you in the loop about future outings, retreats, volunteer opportunities, etc. via mail or email. Remember to let us know how you’re doing as well.

Here’s to renewed spirit and renewed hope.

FISH ON!

Cathy Sero
