Thank you to all who attended/supported our once-a-year fundraising event. We had 75 people come to Cattlemen's and raised about $5000.
Thanks again- Ken
The 89er Chapter (OK City) of Trout Unlimited will hold our annual fundraising dinner and auction on Saturday (4 March). The location is the very popular Cattlemen's Event Center (next to Cattlemen's Restaurant) in the Stockyard City section of OK City. The menu will be a 3-meat buffet (steak, chicken, and catfish) and includes salad, potato, desserts and water/tea. A cash bar is available too. Tickets are $40.00 and can be purchased at the regular 7 Feb TU meeting or at the door on the night of the event. This event is open to the general public; TU membership is not required and there will be no pressure to join at the event.
The money we raise supports numerous projects to improve your trout fishing experience in OK. We contributed over $6000.00 last year toward the new bathroom at the Watt's property on the Illinois River. We support youth education by teaching fly fishing classes for ODWC and support Boy Scout merit badge programs. We also donated $1500.00 to Reel Recovery each of the past few years and have contributed thousands in financial support to stream improvement on the Lower Mt Fork.
We will have both silent and live auctions. In a $10.00 raffle, someone will win a bamboo fly rod crafted by award-winning builder Lou Barbaro. The doors will open at 5:30 PM and dinner is at 7 PM. Please join us for an enjoyable evening.
Thanks- Ken
