Event organizer Terry Lineberger said, âI think sometimes we take for granted this culture of abundance that we are raising our children in here in the DC Metro Area. Yet there are children right next door that donât live with such abundance, in fact, hardly the bare necessities. Education is the great equalizer for these children and The Fishing School is very serious about itâs mission to offer these children a brighter future through educational and enrichment programs. I want to be a part of that.â
The Fishing School created a special family package â $500 for 2 adults / 2 kids (bet ages of 6-16). For more information, rates and details you can visit- www.fishingschool.org.
