Fishing for Wishes

Norm Gavlick, the husband of one of our terrific volunteers, Angela, organized the Fishing for Wishes tournament at the Nesbitt Boat Launch in Kingston, PA (Luzerne County) from 7 a.m. -3 p.m on Saturday, September 5, 2009.   The tournament raised $850.  Pictured here are Norm, Angela, and their daughter, Riley. Seventeen boatloads of people gathered around to make wishes come true and have fun during Labor Day Weekend 2009.  Kudos to Luke Matthew for grilling!
