Fishing for People with Disabilities

Teaching is a passion for me!  That is why I became a teacher, why I am working on a graduate degree, and why I want to eventually be a fishing guide.  Whether it is teaching about physics, fly tying, or how to roll cast, I love it.  There is something special about helping someone do something that he/she has never done before.  However, whether it is working with adults or young people, some people will have obstacles they have to overcome.  Some can be seen (physical obstacles) and some cannot be seen (mental, emotional obstacles).  It is impressive to see our Missouri Department of Conservation recognize the fact that some people with disabilities love to fish and could benefit from a hand up.

The Missouri Department of Conservation will be hosting an event at Forest Park in St. Louis, Missouri, on September 10.  The program will serve both students and adults with physical disabilities of all kinds.  The event will be wheelchair accessible and will have both a morning as well as an afternoon session.  Registration is required for the event.  By clicking on the link, you can find more information as well as a how to register for the program.  If you or someone you know would benefit or enjoy from this program, feel free to forward this link or the one found above and below.
