Man this is great. Keep up with the good ideas guys. Lets make this happen

I am especially interested in the clean-up ideas. Nothing sickens me more than seeing trash in our waterways.

Teach-D (and others interested in outreach to kids),

Cyberfish works with a ministry that takes inner-city kids fishing.
They can always use more volunteers to help take kids on fishing outings.

Being this close to Christmas, it may not get done this year.BUT how about a weekend or two later next fall we can organize a TOYS FOR TOTES drive.Then while the care 11 folks are at it we can drive the toys down there and see if we can get some free air time from KenBarlow!!!!

I think I will incoroperate something like this into next years FM Mille Lacs Lake Launch trip.Bring a toy or food donation while enjoing a night on the water.

Count me in an any thing to do with getting kids out fishing, my daughter loves to fish now after I spent just one or two weekends with her on Mille Lacs while the Walleyes were slamming.It is absolutly a wonderfull feeling to see a youngster so exited about a good clean sport.

Great idea for Kare11. Free PR and we help the Kiddies. This needs to be done ASAP or not at all. Christmas is in a week. I would assume we would need to drop off at the studio in Golden Valley by Monday. I will put up $20 or $20 worth of toys for tots. What do the rest of you think?

yup - I see that my list only covers Metro & Central MN --- so I'm sure Roland would have the info for the clinics going on in the rest of the state.
