2005 November - Volunteer's Activites Corner

By Allen Smith, Board Chairman
 
Mary Hermansky, our Fish Care Volunteers' Coordinator, and I want to again thank every one of our terrific volunteers for the wonderful job that you are doing in performing our fish care activities at the Kingfisher Facility. At this time I want to give special thanks to the following people for their outstanding efforts in behalf of MBSTP:
  1. Special thanks for the outstanding efforts over the years from Bob Eustice who is off pursuing other things in life. Bob was with us for about nine years, and we are truly grateful for all of his labors, time, expertise, support, and comradeship that he provided to us.
  2. Special thanks for the outstanding Chinook Program jobs done by Steve Stanton and his Moss Landing Harbor Crew and for my Santa Cruz Harbor Crew of Corky Fugitt, Mike Hoffman, Dean, Phil Duke, Larry Duke, Morley Johnson, Matt McCaslin, Bruce Newhall, and Josh Workman in performing the activities of sea pen erection, operation, disassembly, and storage of our Chinook Salmon Enhancement Program components. Many hundreds of people-hours are required annually to conduct these efforts.
  3. Special thanks for the outstanding scheduling coordination work that Mary Hermansky performs each and every month, for lining up people in emergencies, and for the excellent support she provides to the Board of Directors.

As always, we continue to need new volunteers to supplement our group of fish care volunteers. If you are interested in helping us occasionally with this urgent fish care work, please contact Mary Hermansky at 831-458-3095 or you can call me at 831-722-4753.

We hope to see and talk to you at our forthcoming 2005 fall events:

  • 28th Annual Albacore Feed & Fund Raiser for MBSTP, November 19, 2005 at the Recreation Center, 11261 Crane Street, Castroville. Dinner is at 7:00 pm.
  • Annual fin clip, Saturday, December 3, 2005 at MBSTP's Kingfisher Flat Hatchery.
