Save the date!

The Eighty-niner Chapter of Trout Unlimited is hosting their annual fund raising dinner and auction on Saturday (2 Mar) at the Cattlemen's Event Center in Oklahoma City.  The restaurant is in the historic Stockyard City section of Oklahoma City at 1309 South Agnew.  The Event Center is next door to the restaurant (just to the south) with plenty of free parking.  Join us for an enjoyable evening featuring a buffet-style dinner plus silent and live auctions.

This is our major fundraising event that enables us to support youth fishing education, stream improvement/conservation projects, and host nationally-known speakers.

You can win: Great fishing gear, fly tying material, guided fishing trips, locally tied flies, and a bamboo fly rod made by award-winning rod builder Lou Barbaro of Norman, OK.

Tickets will be available at the monthly TU meeting on 12 Feb and can also be purchased at the door on the night of the event.

Doors open:  5:30 PM
Preview auction items/bid on silent auction:  5:30 - 7:00 PM
Dinner: 7:00 PM, followed by live auction

Tight Lines- Ken

A giant "thank you" to all who joined us, donated items, or bought a ticket for Lou Barbaro's beautiful bamboo fly rod. The freezing rain never happened; we ended up with 75 attendees; and all traveled safely to and from the event! We raised about $6000.00 to support youth fishing education, coldwater conservation, and bring speakers to central Oklahoma. Our new chapter shirts were very popular; they're available in medium, large, and extra large for $60.00.
Same time next year. Keep the 1st Saturday in March open!

Thanks- Ken
