I hope you all received their invitation to our 49th annual banquet to be held on March 28th, at the Fall Creek Eagles. We are still looking for donations for raffle items; along with individuals interested in helping to solicit prizes. If you can help in anyway please let me know. This year there will be multiple opportunities for your business (or an individual) to sponsor the event. We have three different categories of sponsorship for you to show your support to the chapter. Please check out our website www.amctu.org to learn more.
Do you know of a child that likes to fly fish and is between the ages of 12-15? The PA Council along with Wayne Harpster are offering a day on the famous Spruce Creek. This is a mentored fishing event with the Penn State Fly Fishing Club. The date is April 26th 2015. They are currently taking applications which are due before April 3rd. For additional information please go to www.patrout.org.
Every year we try and sponsor a student to the Rivers Conservation and Youth Fly Fishing Camp held at the Allenberry Resort in Boiling Springs PA. This camp is open to students ages 14- 17 and is one week long. The deadline to apply is March 31st. This is a great opportunity to learn about our coldwater streams and get in some great fishing. Please go to their website www.riverscamp.com for all the details.
CHANGE IN FEBRUARY MEETING
Last month I said that we would be having Bill Anderson come and speak about the Little Juniata River. Unfortunately, Bill had a schedule change with his group’s monthly meeting and is unable to attend until March 11th. The good news is that we will have Rachel Kester from National TU. She will be talking about the many projects that TU are doing around the state as well as some updates on some of the projects we have been involved in. This would be a great chance to get out and see what TU is doing.
We will be meeting at Martins Grocery in the community room at 7pm Wednesday February 11th.
If you need more information, contact George at maksak@comcast.net or 814-771-4022.
