Annual Banquet On October 13th |
 |
 |
 |
Mark your calendar! The annual Jersey Shore TU Banquet will be held on October 13, 2012 at the Salt Creek Grille, 4 Bingham Avenue, Rumson, NJ 07760. This is a spetacular location for our dinner, and is located at the foot of the Oceanic Bridge overlooking the Navesink River. We'll have lots of good raffle items and more fun things that we'll share as the plans get finalized (rumor has it there might be a custom bamboo rod...). Our own David Bucko from Project Healing Waters will be our speaker. This should be a great night of food, fun, and fellowship, so plan now to bring your spouse, friends, etc to share the evening.
The banquet cost is $50 per person, and you can register online.

Toms River De-Snagging Project |
|
|
|
 In August 2011, the heavy rains caused the Toms River to leave its banks and caused some significant problems in the surrounding communities. One of those problems was flood damage to the bridge on Route 571, which is also the down stream boundary of the Toms River Year Around Trout Conservation Area. The heavy flow of the Toms River uprooted some trees and brush causing a jam on the upstream side of the bridge. The Toms River Watershed drains about 750 square mile within Ocean County.

Our annual trip to the Beaverkill for 2012 is being planned for June 1-3, 2012. As usual, the Butternut Grove campground will be the center of action with tent camping available for those interested. Kevin Lovely will be coordinating the event this year, so contact Kevin for more information. We will need an accurate head count so arrangements can be made for food for the picnic, so sign up in advance. Some folks usually start arriving around Wednesday to get a few days of fishing in before the weekend. |

A very active NJ group works with veterans from the VA hospital in Lyons, NJ, holding fly tying sessions and hosting fishing outings at the Pequest hatchery and other locations, and they could always use more help. Please contact our own JSTU member David Bucko, the NJ State Coordinator for Project Healing Waters, to find out more information about this fine program or to volunteer some of your time and talent. |
