 Tie Flies to Support the Club!
what: It's that time of year again! As usual one of the highlights of the Annual Holiday Dinner is the silent auction for flies tied and donated by all of you. The proceeds from this auction are an important source of funding for club events. Help out by tying one or more boxes of your favorite flies and donating them to the club. It's fun and it is often a real ego booster to see how much others are willing to pay for your flies.

 Help Out at the Holiday Dinner
what: Volunteers are needed to help set up before and/or clean up after the annual Holiday Dinner on December 16. Les "The Camp Cook" Junge will be busy with his crew in the kitchen, so the rest of us need to chip in to help set up the tables and clean up after dessert.
when: Thursday, December 16, 6:00 PM (set up) & after dinner (take down)
where: Highlands Community Club
