BFC Annual Family Picnic is June 13
We will be having our Annual Family Picnic on Saturday, June 13th at a new location, Harlow Platts Park on Viele Lake in South Boulder. The picnic will begin at 5:00 p.m. and the chapter will provide a tent, tables and chairs, burgers and drinks. Please plan on bringing a potluck item: a salad, fruit or desert item for yourselves and to share with others.
Planned events will include:
- Beginners Casting Workshop
- Youth Fly Fishing Instruction
- A Bicycle Excursion to South Boulder Creek for 10-12
Please plan to attend and bring the whole family. It should be a great event for family, fishing, picnicking and other fun. See you there!
Volunteers Needed for Rogers Park - July 18
We’re asking our membership and others who may be interested, to help by volunteering their time once the heavy lifting is completed, in repairing the minor damage the heavy equipment did to the stream bed. The club will need volunteers to help plant new vegetation, create a fisherman’s path along the rehabbed stream, help improve the parking areas at either end of the project and establish an area that will accommodate a group seating area for clinics and conservation programs on site.
The date has been set! We will be needing as many as 50 volunteers on Saturday, July 18. Please visit this page for more information and to submit your name to volunteer, so that we may start gathering our list of volunteers.
Our choices matter whether we’re on or off the water, because our lifestyle runs downstream. For more about what you can do to help, visit Recycled Fish to sign up for a free weekly Stewardship Tip and read a growing archive of past Stewardship Tips.
CALL TO ACTION: The Boulder Creek Enhancement Project (also known as the Rogers Park Project)
Prove that you care by donating any amount towards the completion of this project in 2009. We have raised over 90% of the $235,000 needed by successfully securing a DOW grant and through other efforts. We need your help to fund the balance. Over 20 years ago the BFC made the Boulder Creek Path happen. It's time to step up again.
Members of the Boulder Creek Enhancement Team unanimously adopted this graphic as a centerpiece for the project. There will be a series of limited edition prints available as well as other merchandise. If you have an interest contact Chad Pettrone.
Find out more about the club's plans for this vital stretch of Boulder Creek by going to the Boulder Creek Enhancement Project page.
Support the Boulder Creek Enhancement Project When You Buy or Sell A Home (or even if you know someone who is planning to buy or sell). And save yourself hundreds of dollars in the process.
Al Permut, broker/owner of Boulder Valley Realty, will donate directly to the Rogers Park Project $50 for every referral of someone planning to buy or sell a home within the next 6 months or so.
•Al will also donate 10% of his commission from every transaction resulting from this promotion.
It’s really simple. Here’s how it works:
Contact Al, have a friend contact Al or get permission for Al to contact them. Be sure to mention this offer. Even if outside the Metro area or Colorado, Al can set up a referral to another well qualified Realtor. When this results in a referral fee, Al will donate 10% to the project.
Al Permut is a long time member, past president and served for many years on the Board of Directors of Boulder Flycasters. He is excited to be able to directly support this worthwhile project with a little help from you.
