Annual Vermejo Summer Youth Camp
Vermejo Park Ranch in northern New Mexico.
DWWC hosts an annual trip to Vermejo Park Ranch, bringing a coed group of about 16 Boy Scouts / Explorer Scouts to fish trout in streams and lakes throughout the ranch. They explore the outdoor regions of the ranch and learn valuable skills such as fish cleaning, fly-fishing technique, general outdoor education, and the experience of eating exotic 'mystery meat.'
DWWC has donated money to several Texas Brigade Projects. The reports on the projects have been published in our magazine, The Banner.

A very worthwhile project was planned and carried out by Andrew Stack and his team for a Meditation Garden
located on the Memorial Walkway of the Dallas-Fort Worth Cemetery overlooking Veteran Lake.
With the help of 11 youth and Scouts, the Meditation Garden was completed on April 5, 2008. The garden will be around for years to come and will allow visitors and veterans to rest and reflect on those that have served our country and their loved ones.
Andrew is a grand son of Don Chaney and nephew of David Chaney, members of our club. The DWWC Foundation (WWF) made a $100 donation to Andrew.
Thank you, Andrew, for such a great project and a job will done. We look forward to visiting your project in the near future. Also we would love to have you as a member of Dallas Woods and Waters Club to follow in the foot steps of your granddad and uncle.
DWWC also provides financial support to the following organizations: Buckner Children's Home, Operation Orphans, YMCA of Richardson, Texas, Texas Brigades, Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center, and Boy Scouts and Explorer Scouts. |
