Flint's Salvation: Mentor our youth

The next generation holds our future in their hands.  Like it or not, Flint's youth are faced with opportunities  every summer to make 'bad' choices or 'good' choices.  Sometimes they just aren't given the chance to do things that will help them grow up to be successful men.  The Flint Men's Community Action Resource (MCAR) offers our 9th annual 'Day at the Lake' mentoring activity when the Flint Public Schools let out in June.  A training day will be held on 06JUN15 to train the young men (last year about 60) in the fine arts of knot tying, casting, fish cleaning, DNR fishing regulations, boaters safety, and respect & accountability to name a few.  If they complete the ~6 hour training day, when they join us the following Friday to go out of the city to Shay Lake for an overnight Fishing Derby, they will receive their very own fishing rod/reel and a tackle box full of tackle.  They can use this in Saturday's Fishing Derby (13JUN15) where more prizes can be won.  We have made it so that there is no cost to the children, but we seek donations to defray the cost of the prizes, the food, the transportation, and the lodging at Camp Genesis on Shay Lake in Millington, MI. 

Could you please invest in the future of our City?  The future is our children!
