Fun

by Bob Maindelle

As March came and went, my recently repaired left rotator cuff continues to improve. I was able to take on a fairly normal schedule in March, which included the traditionally very busy “spring break” season which spans across three weeks with all of Texas’ many school districts’ calendars considered. I did not conduct any SKIFF trips in March as I sought to focus on my “for profit” trips in order to bounce back from those trips missed during my surgery and recovery.

Thanks to Mrs. Denise Igo, administrator of the locally popular Fort Hood Area Events Facebook page, and Killeen Daily Herald columnist Brittani Sodic, SKIFF is now receiving regular free advertising, representing SKIFF as a wholesome, safe outdoor experience for military-connected families.

Ms. Sodic’s most recent article, First weekend of April to bring plenty of fun to the Killeen area, was the impetus for SKIFF’s next commitment. On April 11, we plan to treat all three kids of the Schreiner family of Salado to a spring fishing trip targeting white bass on Lake Belton. Mrs. Tiffany Schreiner learned of SKIFF through Ms. Sodic’s article.

Additionally, now that daylength is increasing, I have also placed Tuesday and Thursday afternoon slots on my calendar to allow for after-school fishing trips which would run from ~4pm to 7:30pm.
