Fairfield Harbour’s Fishing Club Hosts Third Annual Wounded Warriors Event

Local Boating and Golf Community’s Fishing Club Supports Local Wounded Warriors Program

New Bern, NC, June 30, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Fairfield Harbour (http://www.fhpoa.com), a residential boating and golf community located 15 minutes from historic New Bern, has announced that the Fairfield Harbour Fishing Club hosted its third annual fishing trip with the Wounded Warriors program on June 15. Twenty members of the fishing club and 14 Wounded Warriors, including Fairfield Harbour residents Ed and Eric Edmondson, left early Saturday morning and spent the morning fishing on the Capt. Stacy, an 83 foot headboat chartered by the fishing club for the exclusive use of the Wounded Warriors and club members accompanying them. They fished offshore after a 25-mile trip from Atlantic Beach, N.C. The fishing club followed this excursion with a catered picnic lunch at the Fort Macon Coast Guard station. During the picnic, two awards were presented recognizing “Outstanding Anglers” to the warrior who caught the most fish of the day and the warrior who caught the largest fish.

Established in January 2004, the Fairfield Harbour Fishing Club is comprised of 90 members. For more information on the Fairfield Harbour Fishing Club and the Wounded Warriors event, visit http://pages.suddenlink.net/fhfc/.

“We are delighted that the Fairfield Harbour Fishing Club has chosen to work with the Wounded Warriors Program in hosting its third annual Wounded Warriors fishing trip,” said Mystre’ Van Horn, on-site community manager of Fairfield Harbour. “This event served as an enjoyable outing for both our local heroes and our club members. We truly appreciate the fishing club’s efforts to give back to brave men and women who serve our country.”

“The Wounded Warriors fishing trip is an event that I look forward to every year,” said Larry Knapp, president of the Fairfield Harbour Board of Directors. “The chance to personally thank our patriots and enjoy a pleasant afternoon on the water only comes around once a year, and I am proud that so many of our club members take advantage of it.”

“It is an honor to spend time with the men and women who have given so much to our country,” said Bob Bruggeworth, co-founder and facilitator of the Fairfield Harbour Fishing Club. “We are happy to give back to these dedicated individuals by treating them to a fun and relaxing morning fishing on the deep water. We appreciate the opportunity to connect with these incredibly inspiring individuals and had a great time fishing with them. I also would like to extend a thank you to George and Liz Maravelas, who planned this event with Wounded Warriors these last few years. Without their steadfast dedication to this cause, this event would truly not be possible.”
