County Leaders Announce Donation to Veterans Fly Fishing Program
Binghamton, NY – Broome County Executive Debbie Preston, Broome County Legislators, and Director of Veteran Services Brian Vojtisek joined the Broome County Veterans Fly Fishing Program to discuss details of a recent donation to help the program.
Broome County recently gave $10,000 to the program to help offset costs for travel to fly fishing destinations to facilitate fly fishing instruction.
“As you know, veterans hold a very special place in my heart and I’m willing to help them out in any way that I can,” says Broome County Executive Debbie Preston. “Fly fishing is a wonderful activity and I’m on board with anything we can do to help our local veterans live the best possible life they can after sacrificing a part of their life for this Country.”
The mission of the Binghamton Veteran Fly Fishers is to lift the morale and support the welfare of Broome County veterans.
“We want to thank the County Executive and Brian Vojtisek in the Veterans Services Office for this wonderful donation,” says Gary Romanic, vice president of the Broome County Veterans Fly Fishing program. “This money will go a long way in not only getting the veterans to prime fly fishing areas, but also to provide instruction to those who have never fished before.”
“When we were approached for a donation last year, we were delighted to help,” says Director of Veteran Services Brian Vojtisek. “This program fits into our mission of helping veterans financially, and in adjusting to a return to civilian life.”
This is a one-time donation.
