CRWC Would Like to Congratulate Joe Angelosanto!

Joe is a resident of Clarkston, MI and a recent retiree from General Motors. He expressed that he has more time available to do what he loves–illustrating and designing. When asked about what inspired his design, Joe stated “My oldest son is an adult with special needs who has always loved to fish. We have enjoyed many days fishing on the lakes in our area. I got the idea for the logo from some of the things we would see when we go fishing”

Thank you to Earth 2 Earth Screen Printing & Embroidery for printing our River Day T-shirts.
