THE CHATTOOGA RIVER ROUNDUP TUESDAY, APRIL 1, 2008 BBQ AND FUNDRAISER 6:00 PM “JUST MORE BARBEQUE” PENDLETON, SC
The CRC Board of Directors is in the planning stage for our annual banquet and fundraising.
The event will be held on Tuesday, April 1st at “Just More Barbecue in Pendleton—the same a
s last year.  Everyone is welcome—members, non-members, family members, anyone who has an 
interest in supporting the efforts of our chapter and having a good time in the process.

The December issue of our newsletter, “Long Line Release,” included our CORE AGENDA and 
BUDGET which outline ambitious Conservation, Outreach, Recreation and Education programs 
for this year.  Our ability to execute this program depends largely on the success of our 
annual fundraising in addition to the active participation by our members and friends.  

Your help is critically needed in many ways:  first and foremost by your attendance and 
participation at the banquet; second by your help in securing items for the silent auction 
and bucket raffles (all types items are welcome, not just fishing equipment, but also items 
such as boat trips, meals, golf rounds, baked goods, etc.); third, even if you cannot 
attend, by making a significant cash contribution to the chapter.  Broad participation by 
our membership will make this a very successful event. 

Please support the Chapter to the maximum extent possible in this major event.  
Thanks. The Board of Directors, CRCTU
"We believe that trout and salmon fishing isn't just fishing for trout and salmon.
It's fishing for sport rather than food, where the true enjoyment of the sport lies
in the challenge, the lore, and the battle of wits, not necessarily the full creel.
It's the feeling of satisfaction that comes from limiting your kill instead of 
killing your limit. It's communing with nature where the chief reward is a refreshing
body and a contented soul, where a license is a permit to use, not abuse, and to
enjoy, not destroy, a fishery. It's subscribing to the proposition that what's good
for trout and salmon is good for the fisherman (and other people who enjoy the out-
of-doors), and that managing trout and salmon for themselves rather than the fisherman
is fundamental to the solution of our trout and salmon problems.
     It's appreciating our fishery resource, respecting fellow anglers, and giving
serious thought to tomorrow."
