Sat June 7th MEETING

FISHING BAN
PROTEST

WHERE: Fort Atkinson (at the River Walk from pedestrian bridge east to Legion Dugout).


WHEN: Saturday, June 7, 2008. 10:00 a.m.

WHY: The city council voted to ban fishing on public funded land even though the public was greatly opposed.

Warning: Fishing in the area of the protest may subject the individual to a monetary fine for violating the "no fishing" ordinance. The demonstration is intended to be peaceful and orderly.

The non-profit Rock River-Koshkonong Association (RRKA)* is starting a Legal Fund. The fund will be used to hire a law firm to research the legality of the fishing ban. Donations are welcome.

Send donation to:

Monies in excess of research fees and legal charges will be used to improve fishing opportunities in Fort Atkinson.

* In past years the Rock River-Koshkonong Association has donated over $200,000.00 to lake and river improvement projects.
