Wayne & Catherine Moore Youth FundI would like to be sure that all clubs are aware of the Wayne E. Moore memorial funds that are available for youth days. I never met Mr. Moore, but I am told that he was an avid fly fisherman, a long-standing member of the Southern Council, and a person who was deeply interested in youngsters. When this gentleman died, he left a legacy to the Southern Council with the funds to be used to defray the costs of clubs conducting Youth Days or Youth Outings. To qualify for these funds, a club must designate the youth day or outing as a Wayne E. Moore Youth Day. Wayne & Catherine Moore Youth Fund, Application, pdf format Wayne & Catherine Moore Youth Fund, Application, MS Word format It would be appropriate to advertise the youth day in your club newsletter as a Wayne E. Moore Youth Day, and, at some point during the day or outing, briefly discuss who Wayne E. Moore was and that the funds were supplied as a result of his concern and generosity. These funds have traditionally been used to buy hot-dogs, hamburgers, soft drinks, etc., for the Youth Day. If your club is interested in conducting a Wayne E. Moore Youth Day, please supply me with a brief letter outlining what your plans are, and designate how much money you are requesting, and how it will be spent. Flyfishing equipment AvailableA collection of flyrods and reels are available. 14 fly tying vices, tools, and materials are available. These can be used by Southern Council clubs for teaching flyfishing or flytying. Contact Allen Crise for more information. |
