The Board of Directors approved buying some rods and reels for Heavner Nature center. With our great relationship with a local retail outlet, Fishing Derby Committee Chair Donna Campbell was able to increase the buying power of the $188 greatly and at the July 8th Brighton Optimist Club meeting we presented the fishing rigs to the staff of Heavener Nature Center.
We know that the kids will enjoy the new equipment and that many will discover the joys of fishing through this donation.
