Each year, I donate my services to a variety of non-profits, based in New Hampshire. I do so because I get an enormous amount of satisfaction teaching; bringing new anglers into the sport; and most importantly, I believe in giving back to my community. For example: I donate to Three Rivers Stocking Association and other fishy organizations. I also regularly donate to children, teen and women organizations. As well, I donate to NH Public TV and a handful or environmental groups. I will continue donating my services for as long as I am able, and I encourage you to think about how you can volunteer to make your community a better place. Think about it this way:
I Work for Smiles
I realize folks need to work and make money; however, I think we can all agree that working for smiles is the greatest satisfaction one can achieve; it is for me. Just take a look at the following photos.
 |
| I donate 4 hour beginner fly tying classes. Catching a fish on a fly that you tied is among the greatest feelings and accomplishments. |
 |
| My donations offer great mother and daughter moments. |
 |
| I donate advance guiding services. |
 |
| Family and friends taking advantage of my group donations. |
 |
| A family event, and fly casting with grandma! You never know what may influence a child's life. |
 |
| Helping organizations that offer one day retreats for people with health issues. |
 |
| I bet they will remember mom for making this day happen. |
 |
| Donations get children involved and help expose them to our environmental resources. |
 |
| Priceless! Worth my FREE time, 365 and 24/7! |
My Challenge to You, Put me to Work!
As many of you know, I am away from New Hampshire during the winter months. But, I am home for about eight months each year. When I am home I do a great deal of community work, but I can easily do more. So, I challenge you to put me to work, and you can do so by the following programs:
- Please feel free to donate my fly casting, guiding, and fly tying services to any organization that is trying to raise money. Spread the word throughout New England!
- Take a look at my adult and youth DONATION only payment programs. I am not sure you'll find another professional resource offering such high quality educational services for you and your community.
Gratitude
To all the non-profits and individual people who support my goals and give me a chance to give back, I thank you. The smiles are worth it!
Thanks for reading.
Gone Fishing,
Mark
