HELPING HANDS NEEDS OUR SUPPORT! We Englewood Fishing Club members are much more fortunate than so many of our neighbors. Children, parents, and grandparents are all in need here in our community. Helping Hands needs non-perishable food items, soaps and shampoos, household paper goods, detergents, cleaners, and the other things we all take for granted. Please be generous in your ENGLEWOOD FISHING CLUB NEWSLETTER donations at our monthly meetings, especially at this holiday time
