The Tri-County Let’s Go Fishing Club received a generous donation from the Lac Qui Parle Lake Association recently. Let’s Go Fishing clubs operate solely with the support of volunteers and donated dollars. This donation will play a vital role in helping continue the mission of providing meaningful outdoor experiences for seniors, veterans, and youth in the communities of Chippewa, Yellow Medicine and Lac Qui Parle counties. This contribution not only helps maintain and operate the fishing excursions, but it also reflects a shared commitment to enriching lives and fostering a deep appreciation for the beautiful natural resources in our area. Thank you to the LQP Lake Association for their partnership and generosity—it truly makes a difference.
