Volunteers Needed for Macy’s Fishing Contest in Prospect Park

Volunteers needed for Macy's Fishing Contest in Prospect Park:

First of all, I'd like to thank all of you who have answered our call for
volunteers for the Macy's Fishing Contest in Prospect Park.

At the Fishing Contest, kids 15 years and under learn about fishing.  All
participants borrow a fishing pole, attend educational workshops and
participate in Arts and Crafts activities.  All fishing is
catch-and-release; we use barbless hooks and kernels of corn as bait.

Volunteers at this event will assist with registration, distribute and
collect fishing poles, monitor fishing stations (unhooking and measuring
caught fish), assist with Arts and Crafts and/or whatever else is needed
to ensure this event runs smoothly.

We are still in need of volunteers for the afternoon (1:00 PM-4:30 PM)
shift from July 15-19.  This event has been a tradition in Prospect Park
for more than 50 years.  Come on out and join us…unless you'd rather be
out fishing.

For more information please call the Volunteer Corps office at 718-965-8960.

  2. Mr. Weiss,
    Please provide some contact info for you – I hope I can interest a high school robotics team in helping out. They could learn a little : )
