BASIC FLY CASTING

Thurs. May 8 noon - 2 pm

Curious about fly fishing?  About casting? What's the buzz all about?

The fly-casting session on May 8th will be led by Katherine Ford and her husband Dave Ford, through Lineworkers — the education arm of the Deer Creek Sports and Conservation Club.

They are excited to offer a gentle and fun introduction to fly casting, with the goal of getting everyone ready for a casual fishing outing on May 22, where we’ll try our hand at picking up a few panfish.

This isn’t about expert-level casting — it’s simply a chance to learn the basics in a low-pressure, encouraging setting.  Bring a buddy, or meet someone here!  OPEN TO ALL MEMBERS.

Both Dave and Kathy have completed the Wisconsin DNR’s Angler Education and R3 Instructor Training Course, and we’ve reached the Bronze level in Fly Fishers International’s Skills Development Program. While we’re not certified casting instructors, we’ve trained under a Certified Casting Instructor and love sharing what we’ve learned.

We’ll keep things simple, practical, and supportive — helping everyone feel confident enough to step up to the water and enjoy the experience.

Equipment will be provided.  We will be at the Clubhouse.

Knitting can decrease stress, increase self-esteem, and improve focus and memory. It is not about performance or perfection. Gilda's Knit Karma Club serves as a welcome opportunity to experience the health benefits of knitting while finding friendship along the way.

All fiber artists are welcome!  Crochet, embroidery, slow stitching, you name it!

Snag a beverage, perhaps a snack and join us.

Bring your own project, or we have yarn, needles and ideas.  All skill levels are welcome.

From our instructor Shari Porte "I began knitting in my 30's. Over the years, I have knitted many sweaters that are a bit oversized, scarves that are a tad too long, and gloves that are fingerless. I am an above average knitter but not a master knitter. Present day, I like to keep it simpler and knit straightforward scarves while I stream. I am looking forward to meeting up with other knitters, marveling at their choices of color and texture, and helping to rescue a dropped stitch or two :-)"

Do you believe in the power of story and its healing ability? Narrative medicine can empower people to speak and write their truth. Through the experience of being vulnerable and sharing your own story, you may find a common bond with others.

About the Facilitator:

Jamie Steckelberg is a ten-year cancer survivor and Gilda’s Club member. She also was a caregiver for both parents Bob and Elma during their cancer journeys. During chemotherapy while perusing the books at Gilda’s, she encountered a book entitled When Words Heal by Sharon Bray on how to create and facilitate writing groups using the Amherst Writer and Artist method. Within months after chemo had ended, she became an Amherst Writer and Artist facilitator of Write to Heal, a writing group for cancer survivors and caregivers at Gilda’s Club in Middleton, WI. Her daughter Josie has been an integral part of Jamie’s healing not only through shaving her own head but also by painting and pouring mud on her mother’s head. A poet and English Instructor at Madison College, Jamie also enjoys thrifting and creating art with Josie.

It's quite common to feel a range of emotions once treatment ends.

This post-treatment phase of survivorship requires many things - physical activity, nutrition, a healthy emotional life, and managment of any health concerns that may arise.

You can improve your quality of life by addressing these in an active way.

Cancer Transitions® is a free, 90-minute, four-week workshop designed to help cancer survivors make the transition from active treatment to post-treatment care.

• Session 1: Get Back to Wellness: Take Control of Your Survivorship
• Session 2: Emotional Health
• Session 3: Eating Well and Staying Active
• Session 4: Medical Managment Beyond Cancer: What You Need to Know

(Register and then Meet at Gilda's Club 7907 UW Court, Middleton, WI)

A drop in support group for Gilda's Club members looking to connect with others who are also caregiving or supporting someone with a cancer diagnosis. This group is for members who may not be able to commit to a weekly Family and Friends support group, and instead would like to sign up for the days that work for them. After registering, drop into the clubhouse to meet in person.

If you are already a member and want to attend, register on this event page prior to arriving.

If you are not yet a member, please sign up for a new member meeting through the calendar or email us to set up an individual meeting before attending.
