Blue Gill Fishing Club Members Bring a Little Christmas Joy to a Young Girl

The Truth Staff

The members of the Blue Gill Fishing Club – the Team Black Diamond and the Competition Corvette Club – brought Santa Claus in a little early this year in order to make sure that Cassidy Green had a joyful Christmas.

Cassidy lost her mother, LaTashia L. Caldwell, to cancer recently. Cassidy and her grandmother, Carmen Ford, stopped by the Blue Gill on Sunday, December 14, to take a look at the gifts that Santa and his helpers at Team Black Diamond and Competition Corvette Club had delivered to Cassidy for Christmas.

Blue Gill Fishing Club was organized in 1992 by five community men, initially as a social club. Over the years, the Blue Gill has also evolved into a service club that raises funds for scholarships, to feed neighborhood youth and to assist community action organizations in their missions.

In addition to the annual Christmas gifts they provide, the Blue Gill Fishing Club’s members raise money year round to donate funds to local agencies and to local scholars heading off to college.
