OBTU Annual Appeal for Donations is Underway:
You belong to one of the largest and most active Trout Unlimited chapters: Oakbrook. Our work improves the health and quality of the streams we fish. It brings financial and environmental support to the surrounding communities and farms.
As a Trout Unlimited member, you have given our national organization support. We humbly request your local support as well. Recent excellent support has allowed us to expand our conservation and education efforts. We now do conservation in more places across Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin. We have added two new and popular adult fly fishing courses. Please check out the attached flyer for some detail:
Each OBTU board member will be donating, with a total board contribution targeted to exceed $3,000. Please join our efforts to reach an $11,000 goal which will enable OBTU to continue to make an increased impact this coming year.
You can contribute online or through the mail via the following link:
