November at TVTU?

We know that the Holiday season is now upon us and most all of you ar probably busy, busy, busy....but if you want a break and want to mix up your plans, we may have you covered! So what is on tap for November?


GENERAL MEETING!
WHEN: Wednesday, November 8, 2017
WHERE: Lucky Lab Public House; Multnomah Village
WHAT TIME: 6:00 p.m.
WHAT to EXPECT: "The Salmon Superhwy" and Annual Meeting

No, this is not information on the near annual Skokomish River flooding episodes that send chum salmon migrating over the state highways in Washington - Sarah Zwissler [update], project coordinator, will discuss the effort to restore access to almost 180 miles of blocked habitat throughout six major salmon & steelhead rivers of Oregon’s North Coast.
This is also the annual State of TVTU meeting with a business update on your chapter as well as Board nominations/elections.
WHAT TO BRING: a few bucks for a beverage and dinner; throw in a few raffle tickets and your best dinnertime conversation to share with others!
CONSERVATION!
WHEN: Sunday, November 5, 2017
WHERE:
36412 Camp Creek Rd, Springfield, Oregon
WHAT TIME: 10:00 a.m.
WHAT to EXPECT:
The latest State project - an collaborative conservation effort with the Mckenzie River Trust to restore an important side channel of the Mckenzie River, near Springfield, Oregon.
All TU members in Oregon are invited to volunteer.
WHAT TO BRING: work gloves, boots, rain gear and any other good gear to stay dry and warm in case of cold weather. The Mckenzie River Trust will provide clippers, shovels, and all necessary tools.

FOR FUN!!
WHAT: "Our Two Hands" film tour

WHAT to EXPECT: "Our Two Hands" takes you on a dynamic visual journey to familiar places that will have you seeing them in an entirely new light. Society has a complex relationship with salmon and steelhead. The current management paradigm has failed, and the status quo solutions for restoring impoverished wild populations have proven ineffective.

"Our Two Hands" is an examination of the underlying cause of this decline, as well as the innovative voices in the angling community and general public fighting for a wild fish future in the Pacific Northwest. <<MORE INFO>>

Help out with the latest State TU Project!


2017 State Conservation Project

Dear Oregon Trout Unlimited Members,

This is your invitation to participate in the annual Oregon Trout Unlimited state conservation project. On Sunday, November 5th, the Oregon Council of Trout Unlimited will be collaborating with the Mckenzie River Trust to restore an important side channel of the Mckenzie River, near Springfield, Oregon. All TU members in Oregon are invited to volunteer.

In 2015, the Mckenzie River Trust acquired the 31-acre "Chub Slough" property as part of its plan to protect 200 acres of riparian and floodplain habitat along the Mckenzie.

In case you had not heard....

Hopefully everyone got the email notice from the Oregon Council regarding your access to the COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR employee store!

That's right - for the second year in a row during the month of OCTOBER you can access the employee store in Beaverton and take advantage of the opportunity to purchase Columbia and associated family products at employee discount rates. The BENEFIT? OCTU and the our TU efforts in Oregon will receive a 10% return on all purchases during this period.

If you didn't receive a pass or are not on the email list for TU - please CONTACT US and we'll do what we can to get you the necessary information.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
And thank you COLUMBIA!
