Finding ways to make real and tangible contributions to society through fishing is what it’s all about, and here is your opportunity to make a difference in a Veteran’s life. The National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic is headed to the valley soon, and the Roaring Fork Valley Fly Fishing Club is hosting the fishing venue again this year on March 25 through March 31.

You don’t need to be a “guide” or strictly a fly-fisher to help out, just willing to assist with netting a few fish, lending a shoulder to lean on, and tying a few knots. We expect 30 to 40 Veterans participating each day, and we hope to have 5 to 10 volunteers per day to lend a hand. Lunch will be generously provided each day by the Aspen Elks Club, and you are encouraged to bring your fishing gear.

If fishing isn’t your thing, there are plenty of other activities happening during the Winter Sports Clinic. You can reach out to the Aspen Elks at (970) 925 9071 or visit https://aspenelks.org to find out how you can volunteer your time for this worthy cause. We hope to see you there, our Disabled Veterans deserve our gratitude and respect for the sacrifices they made protecting our precious freedoms.
