WEfish, a new non-profit based out of Westport, WA, is hosting a kick-off event set for March 23rd, 4:30pm at the Westport Winery. The event will serve as an open house & sign-up opportunity for those inquiring about the goals of WEfish. The kick-off will host a guest speaker, Michele Longo Eder from Newport, OR. Michele is a commercial fisherman’s wife, and an attorney, who represents fishing families and their interests. She is also the author of the award-winning book, Salt in Our Blood: The Memoir of a Fisherman’s Wife.
WEfish started in the fall of 2013, when group of individuals began meeting to discuss their interest in supporting the local commercial fishing community in the Westport, WA area. What began as an effort to form a traditional fishermen’s wives association in Westport, quickly transformed into an effort to support fishing families & community through promotion, education, outreach, and service. The name “WEfish” is designed to represent all associated with the fishing industry- families, businesses, and fishermen. WEfish is a collective effort to serve the fishing community on a social level. Our goal is to promote the economic value of this massive industry of which we hear so little, and to refresh and regain the sense of community pride that comes from generations of hard work and heritage.
WEfish is a fishery-wide, non-political group. Both men & women are welcome. Whether interested in reviving a lost-fishermen’s fund, finding opportunities to educate people on the value of commercial fishing, representing commercial fishing at local community events, or simply putting a family face on commercial fishing, WE fish is a great avenue to for those seeking to get involved in supporting the commercial fishing industry.
As a brand new organization, the goal of the kick-off event is to invite the community to join our efforts of supporting, promoting and serving the commercial fishing industry. We hope to generate membership, get people excited about their heritage, and create an easy, fun opportunity for people to both support and become involved in the industry.
WEfish is registered with the state as a non-profit, is working on their 501c tax-exempt status, and is lead by a board of directors and standard by-laws.
Fashion at the Sellar will be featuring clothes from, JT’s, Bodacious Beauties, Hangers, Harbor Shoes, Dennis Company, as well as jewelry from Stellar & Dot and makeup from Mary Kay. Julie Rajcich will also be on hand photographing our wonderful models and event. Ticket prices are $20.00 and a portion of ticket sales will go to benefit the Domestic Violence Center. A fun night for both men and womenat the same time raising money for a great organization.
