2. The Reel Recovery Ohio Chapter has a few openings for its 2023 Men's Cancer Fly Fishing Retreat which will be held on June 20, 21, 22 at Rockwell Spring Trout Club. Reel Recovery is a national non-profit organization that conducts fly-fishing retreats for men recovering from all forms of cancer. Combining expert fly-fishing instruction with directed “courageous conversations,” the organization offers a unique experience for men with cancer — a time to share their stories, learn a new skill, form friendships and gain renewed hope as they confront the challenges of their recovery. Retreats are conducted over a two-and-a-half day period at a fly-fishing facility/lodge with onsite or nearby fishing access. All meals, lodging and fly-fishing equipment are provided at no cost to the participants. Retreats are led by professional facilitators and expert fly-fishing instructors. For information to be a participant, volunteer and contribute to the retreat contact Marcel & M. J. Mylen Ohio Reel Recovery Coordinators at 216-496-2094 or email [email protected], or [email protected]. (Reel Recovery)

• Avon Lake Historical Society: "Can anyone guess where this intersection is/was?" (Avon Lake Historical Society via Facebook)
