Joyce Bennett-Looney
When Joyce and her husband Reuben moved to Wisconsin, their neighbor learned that they both enjoyed fishing and introduced them to the Learn 2 Fish organization. They both started volunteering and Joyce said joining the board was not only a great opportunity for her to meet new people and find great fishing spots, but also a way to help the Fox Valley community. She is passionate about helping kids (and their parents) spend less time on the couch and more time outside in the great outdoors fishing. By volunteering through Learn 2 Fish, she helps teach younger generations about this lifetime sport and immerses herself into the community. Joyce’s favorite spot to go trolling for fish is near the mouth of where the Detroit River meets Lake Erie, especially during White (Silver) Bass season. |
