2004 June - Volunteer's Activites Corner

By Allen Smith, Board Chairman & Volunteer Coordinator

Some of our outstanding volunteers have worked hard and diligently since September of 2003 to date at our Kingfisher Flat fish rearing and research facility on the reconstruction and repair of raceways and large fiberglass pools areas project and on the building of a new Coho Captive Brood-stock Rearing Facility. Work on these projects is expected to be completed this summer. We can&Mac226;t thank all these terrific people enough for the many, many hundreds of labor hours that they selflessly provided to MBSTP in undertaking these big tasks. Your efforts will be appreciated and enjoyed by many volunteers in MBSTP’s future years.

I am very pleased to announce to you that we have appointed Mary Hermansky as our new Scheduling Coordinator in January of 2004. Mary responded to my appeal in this column from the November 2003 Newsletter, and we are most appreciative of the great job that she is doing in her new position. For the immediate future, you can leave messages for Mary at our MBSTP voice mail phone number at 831-458-3095.

On Saturday, May 1, 2004, we trained 12 enthusiastic new volunteers in our fish care activities, and Mary has already begun scheduling these new volunteers for fish care duties assisting our experienced volunteers.

This year’s coming events are:

  • Big Fish Derby, fund raiser for MBSTP, July 2, 3, & 4, 2004. Weigh-in stations will be located at Santa Cruz Upper & Lower Harbor and at the Moss Landing Harbor Launch Ramp locations
  • Annual Albacore Dinner, fund raiser for MBSTP, November 13, 2004 at the Recreation Center,11261 CraneStreet, Castroville, dinner @ 7:00pm
  • Annual MBSTP fin clip of steelhead, Saturday, December 4, 2004


Anyone who is interested in being trained to work with us in occasional fish care and/or other of our Project activities, please contact Mary Hermansky at 831-458- 3095.
