Take Me Fishing – Hutsell Elementary

We have lots of different areas for Rotary Club members to volunteer at.

• Door prize area: Where door prizes (most of which are purchased by the Rotary Club) are handed out to our students as they are leaving. I believe that Rotarian volunteers would love to be able to hand out prizes that come from the money that yall generously donate 😊
• Pond Walkers: Who walk around while our students are fishing and they help them take fish off hooks and take them to get measured.
• Measuring Stations:  Volunteers will measure the fish and record its data.

Any of these volunteer positions will be great for Rotarian volunteers it just depends on each person’s level of comfort!

During “Take Me Fishing Hutsell” students arrive with their parents and other family members for a morning of aquatic adventure. Students enter Mary Jo Peckham Park in Katy, Texas, and register with volunteers from Hutsell. After registering, families are escorted to a safety station where Texas Game Wardens provide educational tips and safety procedures. At the safety station, they also enter for a door prize drawing. Students can win fishing poles, tackle boxes, and various coupons donated by local businesses and restaurants. 

Students and families can borrow free fishing equipment to use during the morning, courtesy of Texas Parks and Wildlife, Fishing’s Future, Katy ISD, and Hutsell Elementary. After checking out fishing equipment, families can then take some bait to use. Hotdogs, chicken hearts, earthworms, and chicken livers are donated by local businesses so students can be able to fish for free. Texas Parks and Wildlife also signs a waiver which means that no participants need to purchase a license for the duration of TMFH.
