The Villages Deep Sea Fishing Club

SEMI-ANNUAL PICNIC (FISH FRY)

The first annual fish fry was held in the fall of 1999 and was a smashing success and was the social event of the year. In fact it was such a success that The Club currently holds two fish fries every year, one in the spring and one in the fall. The fish fry is open to all members and their spouses. Outside guests are not permitted as this is a closed club event. Once a date is established, information is provided to the members at scheduled meetings via announcements and flyers. As this is a members only event, volunteers are critical to a successful day. So please say YES when asked to volunteer.

WHEN IS THE NEXT FISH FRY?	THURSDAY, APRIL 5TH, 2012
WHEN DOES IT START?	AT 11:00 AM. FOOD USUALLY SERVED AROUND 12:00
WHAT ABOUT THE LAST FISH FRY? THE APRIL 7TH 2011 FISH FRY WAS ENJOYED BY OVER 200 MEMBERS ATTENDING. HOWEVER, SEE THE NOTE BELOW ABOUT HELPING TO ENSURE THAT THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE AMPLE FISH AT FUTURE FRYS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE SINCE THE NUMBER OF MEMBERS ATTENDING THE FRY KEEPS INCREASING EVERY YEAR. SHOWN BELOW ARE PHOTOS FROM THIS EVENT AND A LIST OF VOLUNTEERS THAT MADE THIS PICNIC A SUCCESS.

Frequently Asked Questions	Answers
WHERE DO WE GET THE FISH	Through voluntary donations by club members who catch more fish than they can use or just want to donate to help support the fish fry. (Note: The Club pays for the fish cleaning for all donated fish). PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT WITHOUT ENOUGH FISH BEING DONATED BY THE MEMBERS, THERE WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO GO AROUND. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT. WE ALSO NEED MORE FISHERMEN/WOMEN TO GO OUT AND CATCH THEM.

F thru K: Potatoes. L thru P: Salad. R thru Z: Vegetable. For those who cannot eat fish, hot dogs and burgers are provided. Refreshments are also provided.
