Fishing Forever, PQFG’s Amazing Annual Event!
June 1st, 2023
W O W! That was quite a fun fishing event hosted by the PQB Fishing and Game Club (www.pqfg.org)! The weather, the company, and the location… made for a splendidly beautiful day.
The Fishing Forever Event took place on Sunday, May 28, at Spider Lake. The event began at 10:00 a.m. and lasted until 1:00 p.m..
The event had some generous sponsors (Quality Foods, Fish and Game) who provided a delicious picnic lunch prepared by the event organizer, Jamie Sudyko, along with hot coffee, bottles of water, juice, fruit and cookies.
The B. C. Wildlife Federation are also sponsors of this event and gave participants hats with the Fishing Forever Logo on the front.
It is so kind of the Parksville /Qualicum Fish and Game Club and Jamie Sudyko (who organizes this event each year) to do this for our folks.
Special thanks to the Fishing Forever volunteers who provided lessons in baiting our hooks, casting, etc. (they were also a great help in untangling our lines when necessary), and to Wayne Duke for taking so many amazing pictures and sharing them with us (see below):
Many members are already looking forward to next years’ event!
Clay Shoot Event
April 23, 2023
Once again the Parksville Qualicum Fish and Game Club ran a AAA Clay Shoot event that had 40 participants! They also invited Oceanside Stroke Recovery to help prepare and serve lunch to their members (37 signed up for lunch). It was a cold and damp day and the menu provided some inner warmth.
The OSRS members prepared scalloped potatoes, baked ham, Ceasar salad and a choice of dessert. For many years, the Fish and Game Club have provided OSR with fundraising opportunities which help cover the costs of our therapies. We appreciate their support, and are happy to help with their events.
Special thanks to all the Fish and Game members who participated, to the OSRS helpers who prepared the delicious meal, and to MJ + Kathleen for helping write up this post.
Birthday Party, Information Session, and a Wonderful Donation!
March 3rd, 2023
Wow, what a fun filled meeting this was!
First we celebrated Karen’s Birthday (see below), then we found out both Nancy and Cathy have birthdays just a few days later. So we sung Happy Birthday to them as well!
As you can see in the background of Karen’s picture, Brian of OBLT was patiently waiting for the singing to die down, before sharing with the group how his organization helps oceanside residents with their tech issues and challenges.
Check out their website for more information about all the ways they help: https://oblt.ca/
Last but certainly not least, a special thank you to the Let’s Get Active group for their VERY appreciated donation. Their organization has a fundraiser where they place jars at numerous establishments around the Bowser area, and folks donate here and there. Every bit counts, and they collectively raised approximately $400.00, and 2 of their members have signed up to help volunteer at OSRS special events!
Thank you Darlene and the Let’s Get Active Team!
See y’all at the next meeting!
