Blind Fishing Program

A cool summer evening, a fishing pole, and good company. What could be better?

We have started a new program this year, and the members are very excited about getting out once a week to participate fishing the great lakes and ponds around the Nashville area. Below are some photos of our members catching fish and Hands on Nashville volunteers asisiting them.
