Catskill Mountains TU Conservation Banquet

The Catskill Mountains Chapter of Trout Unlimited invites you to our  Annual Conservation Banquet, 6:00 PM, Saturday, November 12th, at the Stonehedge Restaurant on Route 9w in West Park, NY.

Our annual banquet is our largest chapter fundraiser for the year. Proceeds from the banquet help fund variety of chapter projects and activities throughout the year. Here are some of the things we’ve done in recent years:

• Removed trash and litter from area streams
• Planted saplings to promote stream bank stability
• Trout-in-the-Classroom program in local schools,
• Monitored the Esopus Creek above the Ashokan Reservoir
• Conducted temperature surveys of area streams
• Ran casting demos at local schools and spoke with students about the importance of trout to a healthy ecosystem
• And more!

The evening begins with a cash bar cocktail hour at 6:00 PM and the opportunity to view the raffle buckets and silent auction items. Bucket raffle tickets will be 25 for $20.00 or $1.00 each. Dinner will begin being served at 7:15 PM.

After a brief presentation, we will have drawings for the bucket raffles, announce the winners of our silent auction, and draw winning conservation raffle tickets..
