May 22nd Deschutes Chapter is hosting a “Still Saving Bristol Bay” event at the Good Life Brewery in Bend at 6:00 p.m. – Films will be shown and Fishermen will talk and I will wow everyone with my policy nerd talk. 

May 29th A comment Card signing party will be hosted by TU and Wild Salmon Center at the Ecotrust building in Portland from 6:00-8:00 p.m..  Films will be shown, with commercial fishermen, chefs, and guides on hand.  Again I will talk on Policy and why you should sign a comment card.
