Holiday Conservation Banquet

The highlight of your social season, the Kiap-TU-Wish Holiday Conservation Banquet, is set for Thursday, December 5, 2019. We, the Banquet Committee, are committed to providing you with an entertaining evening while helping the Chapter continue its worthy conservation and restoration work. Projects on the Kinni, Pine, and Trimbelle Rivers, for example, have added thousands of feet of rehabilitated trout streams in the last few years. YOUR participation in this banquet, silent auction and raffles contribute greatly to those efforts. — The Banquet Committee

Silent Auction & Raffle Items
Speaking of the Silent Auction, WE NEED YOUR HELP! We eagerly anticipate your donations of books, art work, crafts, bling, gently used tackle, fly tying materials, and tools. Please help us! Your donations, any and all, help ensure our continued progress on local streams as well as our ultra successful Trout in the Classroom programs. And the Silent Auction is FUN!! We have procured some trips, fine tackle, and gift items that should excite you. But we need a lot more!

You may drop off your donations at any of the following Fly Shops: Lund’s Fly Shop in River Falls, Bob Mitchell’s Fly Shop in St. Paul, or Mend Provisions in Minneapolis.
