Reeling & Healing with Headwaters TU






A number of Directors and general members of the Headwaters Chapter have volunteered time and talent to aid others in need...

One of those organizations is a womens cancer recovery group known as Reeling & Healing... you can find more about them and their mission by visiting their web-site site. http://www.fishon.org/






Member Dr. Robert Slezak, together with Directors Dave Smethurst and Lance Weyeneth spent some time in waders while a couple dozen participants were introduced to the Au Sable River and the joys of fly-fishing!

Reeling & Healing holds several gatherings each summer. 15-20 cancer survivors and those currently battling the disease are able to soothe their minds and bodies together with an opportunity to meet others and share in the joy of discovery during a challenging time.

This session was held at Gates Au Sable Lodge on he fabled banks of the Au Sable's Holy waters just east of Grayling. http://www.gateslodge.com/
