FISH WISH REQUESTS OFF TO A SLOW START

The new Fish Wish Program the Freeport Host Lions Club started this

year to give away the proceeds from the Fishin’ Fiesta has had only a handful of

nonprofits submit applications for project funding.

“I think right now we’ve had five or six,” said Fishin’ Fiesta Chairperson

Kristle Kersten. “But it’s still early, and they still have three weeks left to turn

them in.”

Applications for Fish Wishes will be accepted until July 4. Forms may be

downloaded at www.fishinfiesta.com, and, once filled out, mailed to the

Freeport Host Lions Club,

Attn: Fish Wish Program,

P.O. Box 2433, Freeport TX 77542.
