Green Bay TU 50th Annual Conservation Banquet
Details
On Thursday, February 19th, we are hosting our 50th Annual (Golden) Conservation Banquet, and we want you to join us!
50th Annual (Golden) Conservation Banquet:
When asked if he knew how many Trout Unlimited Chapters worldwide have reached this milestone, TU National's TROUT Media / Volunteer Operations Coordinator, Nick Halle, said:
“I’m afraid I really don’t have an idea of how many chapters have held such events – TU has been around since 1959, so 50 years is a long, long time, I’d suspect less than 1/3 of our chapters are even that old!”
In other words...there can't be many, if any, TU chapters in the world that have done what we have. 50 Years of Conservation Fundraising Banquets is truly special. Please help us celebrate!
Our Banquet:
Our banquet is fast-paced, with prize opportunities every 5-10 minutes following dinner. This ensures everyone has non-stop excitement while going home at a good time. Most of our prizes are top-of-the-line. We will feature special raffles, 50/50 raffles, bucket raffles, a silent auction, a live auction, many door prizes, and much more!
