Annual conservation fund-raising banquet
Thank you all for making the event a success
 We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all those businesses and individuals who gave so generously to make this year’s banquet the great success that it was. Without the support of the donors and the hard work of the Banquet Committee members, we would not be able to continue the work of the Chapter to preserve and protect our rivers, educate the younger generation and participate in all the other environmental efforts we undertake. Thank you all!
The 34th annual Conservation Banquet, held at the Riverside Yacht Club, was a tremendous success. Along with some great prizes and auction items, members were able to catch up with old friends and plan future fishing outings together. The big winner of the night was Gustavo Castano, who took home the grand prize, a $1,000 gift certificate to Westport Outfitters. Pictured with Gustavo are owner Eric Johnson and guide Chris Elser. Congratulations to Gustavo and many thanks to Eric for his generous support. Bidding was fast and fierce on this Catskills trip, donated by Erf Porter.
