Fishing Trip
Families began arriving early on the morning of Saturday, April 3rd, for
the very first ASYMCA Father/ Child Fishing Trip. Moments after the
first families arrived, the first fish of the day was caught by one lucky
girl. Throughout the day, families fished, boated, enjoyed a BBQ
lunch, and hustled through the woods during an Easter Egg Hunt.
Thank you very much to life scout Justin Van Bibber, Henry Hall, the
Mataguay Scout Ranch, One Stop Equipment, Heartland Lions Club,
Barnacle Bill's Tackle, Troop 690, and American Legion Post 468 for all
of your hard work planning and carrying out this event that afforded
many families the opportunity to spend a fun day together at Beaver
Lake at the Mataguay Scout Ranch.
Table Dedication
Thursday, April 8th was a beautiful day for
an outdoor lunch at the recently donated
picnic table. The staff of the San Diego
ASYMCA gathered along with Suzanne
Manuel and members of FOCUS to dedicate
the picnic table in honor of Lt. Gary Manuel,
USN (ret.). FOCUS members have gener-
ously supported ASYMCA programs for
many years and we remain incredibly thank-
ful for their heartfelt support.

Thank you
Avant Garde
One can’t help but wonder where we would be
without support from the lovely women of
Avant Garde. At the March Board of Manage-
ment meeting, Avant Garde presented the
ASYMCA with a donation of over $6,000 for
programs. Thank you Avant Garde for your on-
going, generous support for our programs that
support San Diego military families!
