Look out! Our monthly MEMBER MEETINGS have started again! We have gotten some great feedback about the Old Market Pub location - if you have a chance, please come support our speakers and venue - grab a board member and let us know your thoughts.
CHAPTER MEETINGS
Where: OLD MARKET PUB - Garden Home [6959 SW Multnomah Blvd]
When: second Wednesday each month [except July and August].
Time: 6:30 p.m. gathering time - 7:00 p.m. program start.
What to Expect: The meeting room is on the 1st Floor - look for it past the shuffleboard room; you can also ask a server for the location! There is usually a brief update on Chapter news and events; we ask that new members introduce themselves; allow short tales of any recent member fishing exploits; all that leads directly into the feature presenter.
Raffle/Door Prizes*: you may have a chance to purchase raffle tickets or be eligible for door prizes and attractive take-homes. All for a good cause, so help further support the Chapter!
Food and Drink: available for purchase at the OMP meetings. Included in our rental agreement is a full-time server so ordering SHOULD be painless! Keep in mind, food/drink purchases are supportive of our venue and because we have proven ourselves reliable so far, OMP has decided to support our chapter by not charging a meeting room fee!
Speakers: we schedule a wide range of interesting and informative speakers at each monthly meeting so there certainly will be many of interest to you. The topics range from fishing guides and instruction to conservation – we even have some Chapter members who have presented on some of their most awesome destination fishing trips! If you have a suggestion for a speaker – please contact us and let us know.
So please plan on stopping by and taking part – and bring your best fishing stories! We hope to see you soon!
* Any and all proceeds go directly and solely to the Tualatin Valley Chapter to support our projects and meetings. Must be present to win.
