Coastal Conservation Association Skidaway Chapter’s 26th Annual Banquet and Auction Members of CCA Skidaway are excitedly preparing for their signature event of the year—the Coastal Conservation Association’s Annual Banquet and Auction being held on Tuesday, April 21st at the Palmetto Ballroom. This year’s theme, “The Last Cast – Hooking Tomorrow’s Anglers Today,” is all about passing the baton of responsibility to the younger generation. We aim to instill values that will ensure the continuity of our passion for fishing and the health of our coastal ecosystems. By doing so, we ensure that the responsibility of caring for our environment and enjoying sustainable fishing practices is carried forward with enthusiasm and dedication. The event will feature a wide variety of items in both the silent and live auctions.

On Saturday, July 27th the Cast Away Club’s featured topic was “Bee Wild”. Lisa Wood of Bee Cause taught the kids all about bees. Lisa brought a bee hive to show the kids how the hive works – the role of the queen bee, worker bees and the drones. Lisa explained the importance of bees and the mission of the organization to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards while protecting our planet’s precious pollinators. Everyone that attended received honey sticks and a bio-degradable flower pot (seeds included) to start their own pollination garden and was invited to visit the Bee Garden located at Sparrow Field. After the nature presentation the kids and their parents fished the lagoon for about an hour. Volunteers were on hand to distribute fishing rods and bait provided by CCA. Volunteers also helped set up and repair rods as necessary. Cast Away Club events are always free. Kid’s logoed Cast Away Club hats and insulated drink bottles are available for a $10 donation. CCA is a non-profit organization with chapters on the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf Coasts. For more information about CCA of Skidaway, contact Rick Tallon (417) 294-2002.
