Life Jacket Kiosk

In Memory of Trenten Morris

Our first kiosk has been installed at Wildcat Lake instead of Long Lake County Park, in memory of 14 year old Trenten Morris who drowned while swimming in Wildcat lake. We will build one at Long Lake at a later date.

From the president. "Thanks to all our club members. Your willingness to help is proof that you are not just fishermen, but valuable members of our community. You bring honor to our club."

Special thanks for the hospitality of the park maintenance staff, John Lester, and Mike King for letting us dig holes in their park, and providing power and water. Special thanks to Lori Raymaker (KC County Parks Stewardship Coordinator) for being patient with us. Thanks to all the great members of LLBC who helped: Dan Anderson, Shaun Flanagan, Bob and Dorothy Steiner, Bev Baker, Kevin McCullum, Renee Richards, Phillip Whatley, Don Sanger, Frank Stricklin, Chris Raymaker, Jason Leib, Leon Lilly, Roger Mosely, Ron Kropp, and Paul Watson. We poured 1,900 lbs of concrete removed 16 cu ft of dirt, and donated a total of 88 manhours labor. Well done.

Kiosk Dedication 3 April

The Kitsap Medical Society, Kitsap Safe Swimmers, CK Fire and Rescue, KC Parks, Long Lake Bass Club members, family and friends of Trenten attended the dedication ceremonies at Wildcat Lake on the 3rd of April. There was a large crowd despite the icy winds blowing in off the lake, as a testament to the dedication of those that wanted to honor Trenten's memory.

Volunteer Vests

The vests are in, and they look good. These vests let people know you are with us, and are a good guy.

Stay Involved!

Now that the fish are starting to move, we are ready to move as well. While they slept, we made a difference in our community. We have learned a little more about our environment, and each other, through participation. Now that spring is here, and the "pre spawn" is on, we are ready to go, knowing we have made a difference.

Any ideas for a project? If you notice a need or a problem that we might address as a club, let us know.
