All net proceeds from this years fund raiser up to a limit of $10,000 will go towards the Yellow Dog River Community Forest Project. This project will result in the purchase of 700 acres of woodland by the Yellow Dog Watershed Conservancy, which will keep 5 miles of river open to the public and protected from development or damage. Other projects we support include the Upper Peninsula’s Salmon in the Classroom program, the Escanaba River Association Watershed Partnership, youth and adult fly tying lessons, kids’ trout fishing camp, as well as cold water conservation projects.
Individual tickets are $40 and student admission is $25. Gold tables for 6 or 8 are a great value at $60 per person, which includes premium raffle and bucket raffle tickets.
This is the chapter’s only fundraising activity and we invite all who are interested in conservation and cold water fisheries to attend. To reserve your place at the banquet, or to request further information about FWCTU, contact Bob Jensen at 906-228-3052 or pbjup@hotmail.com.
