Fundraising

Triangle Fly Fishers has no dues, but we do have expenses. We support our members with sponsored trips and events, and we support worthy efforts in conservation, outreach, and education. So we have a variety of fundraising activities throughout the year.

Our goal is to make these activities fun and valuable to our members. We are extremely grateful to members and other Friends of TFF -- guides, vendors, and artists -- who donate time and goodies for auctions, monthly raffles, and whatever our Fundraising Committee dreams up!

Come here for the latest news about opportunities to keep the club going strong.

T-Shirts and Merchandise

• TFF-logo shirts with Dave Whitlock artwork on the back. Orders are not being taken now, but click here for images and info.

• Other TFF merchandise via Cafe Press.

Online Auctions 

Summer auction ended on July 27.  Members bought great companion trips (local and coastal), as well as lodging at the South Holston.

We periodically hold online auctions on the Meetup Message Board. Typical items include companion trips, special flies, and artwork. 

Each item has its own Message Board discussion. To bid, simply post a reply. The first bid to reach the "Buy It Now" price, or the highest bid at the end of the auction, wins.

Special Raffles

In March, TFF and Crystal Coast Adventures teamed up to raffle a two-day fishing trip with Captain Dean Lamont for two anglers, near Beaufort, NC.

One or two days of fly or light tackle fishing for Redfish in the marshes on his Pathfinder 17ft flats boat. An option for the second day, depending on the date and weather permitting, is to fish from his 25ft Hydra Sports in the ocean for Spanish, Trout, Amberjack, Blues, or Albacore (Sept/Oct trip). Lodging and one meal included. The trip must be taken by Oct 15, 2011.

Twenty tickets were sold at $50 each. (The trip is valued at more than $1300.)

The winner was drawn at the March 28 meeting, and the winner was... Preston McQueen.

Annual Fundraising Event

Planning for our annual fundraising event is under way. Last year's Pig Pickin' was lots of fun.

Monthly Raffles

At our monthly meetings, we raffle a few of our smaller items. The more tickets you buy, the more chances to win!
