Hi Mr. Fixit, the event is basically we get together in the morning, set up fishing rods and kayaks on the beach and then the vets arrive and we take them kayak fishing and then enjoy a fish taco lunch afterward. It's recreation therapy so just getting some of these vets out of the house and on the water helps them make the next steps in their lives or relieves stress and helps them get through ptsd, tbi or other difficulties. Even just them coming and seeing we're all there to support them is helping. It's really rewarding and cool to give back. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/heroes-...ts-26870864479 This event will be Oct. 22 at tidelands. Nov 19 will be at OEX in mission bay.

Hey. Giving a shout out to all of those who have helped out HOW in the past. It may have been awhile since you last came out to an event. We are in need of Mentors for the upcoming Oct. 22nd event at Tidelands. If it's been awhile since you have been to an event. Please consider coming out and seeing what we have grown to be. We are trying to go into the holidays with the largest and best events possible. We can only do it with your help. Thanks. Mike

I would say another 4 mentors would really help. We have 31 vets with a few of their kids likely to come as well for this event! Come make a difference.

As I said, add me to the list of mentors. I can at least prevent someone from getting kilt. Hopefully help someone catch some fish in the process.

I registered as shore based volunteer, but if OTW mentors are more needed i can do either.

Do mentors need to bring their own boat?
