We’re raving about the retreat and will encourage others to go. The volunteers sure did amaze us with their willingness to bear our faults and mishaps and still say, “you’re doing a great job”. Thanks to all of you and the Au Sable staff for the precious time we were able to spend. It was beautiful and we hope to see you all again. Fish on! Shirlee B

I would like to thank you for the best experience of my life and all the women I met, but the best was my time on the river. Being on the river made me realize I can make it through this fight with cancer. These memories will last me a lifetime. You are all the best. Love, Pat K.

Because of RHM I have new friendships outside my comfort zone. Also, I have learned to become one with the river. Not to count the number of fish caught, but to think like a trout and present a fly that might be somewhat natural for the liking of one finicky trout. Aside from fishing, I think about all the wonderful memories we share on and off the water. Can’t wait to get together again! Life is short, but I’m thankful for the powers that be that brought RHM into my life. Fish On Always! Love ya, Linda

Dear Reeling & Healing Midwest,
Thank you for such a nice gathering of fishing people and most helpful guides. Although I only felt a couple nibbles and didn’t hook one trout, it doesn’t matter to me. What a wonderful way to cast one’s troubles and worries aside, to totally relax and take in our beautiful state and its rivers. Thanks for all you do! Wishing you the best with all future retreats. I’ll be at another Reunion Retreat for sure. Fish On! Carol C, Big Rapids, MI

Dear Reeling & Healing Midwest,
Just want to send a great big “Thank You” for the wonderful weekend. I needed it so much. It was amazing. The team of volunteers should be commended for a job well done. I will share this sweet treasure of these retreats with the survivors I meet and do my best to encourage them to attend. May your work continued to be blessed. With loads of gratitude and love, Marsha

Dear Reeling & Healing Midwest,
Thank you for encouraging me to attend a New Participant Retreat in 2010. I had a blast and will be your fishing buddy for years to come! Fish On! Aileen L.
