Happy Summer Everyone! A busy summer at the club has led to a late release of the spring news for the club. But here is our updates for Spring 2024:
A friend was fishing the ponds when we stocked them for the derby and joined in the stocking. It was great that he was able to help out!
Kids Fishing derby 2024
Thank you to all who came out for the derby and those who helped and contributed in so many ways. The derby was like most before it: lots of fish caught, first time fishers, lots of fun was had. The winning fish came in at 18.5”, a fantastic catch in the Boulder Creek system. We were thrilled that the community also stepped up in prize donations and helping and teaching the participants about fishing. We can’t wait until next year!
New Membership Cards
While mentioned in the previous post about the derby, membership cards have been a way for the club to raise funds to cover our daily expenses with the fish farm. We hope to expand soon into new activities as well. With this, we decided it was time for an update to the heavy-stock paper membership cards with our new design (see below). As mentioned earlier, purchasing these cards is like making an investment in the local fishing community. Through these donations we’re able to continue making the kids’ ponds a fantastic place for kids to fish among other activities and causes pertaining to fishing in Boulder County.
The cards themselves are a nice matte finish with the logo being a sticker. A good addition for the back window of a car or the top of a laptop. They’re produced by the local sticker company, StickerGiant and we can’t thank them enough for their work on making these a reality.
If you would like to support the club and purchase one, please drop us an email through the contact us page (under “Help Out”) and we’ll get one to you. We ask for a $5 donation for each card. We hope to streamline this process a bit in the future. Of course larger donations are always welcome as well. Feel free to reach out if you would like to discuss some of the larger fundraising opportunities we have going at the moment.
As mentioned above, it’s been a very busy summer for the club. Check back at the end of September for all the updates. Like always, we continue to thank you all for letting us be a part of the Boulder community for over 100 years!
