  Janet and Darlene,
  I do plan to join the Damsel Flies as soon as Richard and I move to Eugene this summer. I love to fly fish. I am not particularly good at it, but I never tire of trying.

  Could the President of Damsel Flies contact me about an event I am proposing which could result in a financial contribution to the club?

  Hey! Do you have gal pals, sisters, mothers, or nieces in Colorado or a nearby state? The non profit I work for, The Women’s Wilderness Institute, offers some awesome all-female fly fishing clinics and overnighters for women and girls age 8 and up. We also have courses for backpacking, rock climbing, mountain biking & much more. Just thought I’d share the news!

  Have always wanted to fly fish, but don’t know how to start. I grew up on the Puget Sound fishing, but have never fly fished.

  Hello, I’m hoping to learn more about your recent Casting for Recovery fundraiser, and pick the brains of the Damsel Flies in regards to fly fishing, and a good way to get involved.

  Thank you
