For the past 8 weeks, Fishing for Families in Need (F4FN) once again offered a marine science/conservation program to the children at Florence Fuller Child Development Center in Boca Raton, FL. The kids learned about the anatomy of fish, how to properly cast a fishing rod, how to throw a cast net, how to tie various fishing knots, and focused on topics including: marine conservation, invasive species, ocean pollution, and the perils of overfishing. At the end of every F4FN program, we offer the children a fun graduation field trip to test their fishing skills and knowledge learned. In addition, each student receives a completion certificate and a new fishing rod and tackle box. This year, we went to Anglins Fishing Pier in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Every child graduated knowing how to fish in a more responsible manner while having a great time outdoors.
This coming Spring, we will begin a new 8 week program at the Boys & Girls Club of Miami-Dade and the Boys and Girls Club of Kendall in addition to our Boca Raton programming.
Whether you are a past volunteer, previous donor, community partner, or a person who simply cares about positively impacting children and the environment we ask you to please consider supporting our efforts through another one-time donation or to establish a recurring donation as we head into 2018. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Nicholas C. Metropulos
