Hello, Naomi –
I am sending you some wonderful pictures from the Vermont/New Hampshire program – finally – for you to use in your newsletter. Thanks again with major applause to the Good People Fund for all the assistance you provided to help our volunteers "push the envelope" to achieve their goals.
This picture shows the participants from Casting for Recovery Vermont/New Hampshire creating the "web of the world" – the connections that survivors make with each other start on the first evening, and grow stronger by the hour…

Casting For Recovery is dedicated to helping women with breast cancer recover, both physically and emotionally, through the unique benefits of fly-fishing…a sport which uses just those muscles most affected by breast cancer surgery. The physical benefits of a weekend retreat in a beautiful natural setting, surrounded not only by other women experiencing the very same turmoil, but also a group of volunteers committed in every way to making the event transformative, create a perfect therapeutic experience.
This year The Good People Fund once again offered a challenge grant (this time) to the Vermont/New Hampshire chapter to enable them to hold their annual fly-fishing retreat earlier this month. The chapter’s volunteers held a successful online auction, ran a small fundraiser and managed to attract several new private donors-all of which propelled them well beyond the $2500 match we offered.
We wish we could have been there!
