Mason Griffith Founders Chapter Annual Fundraiser Banquet & Trout Unlimited 50th Anniversary Special Rod Raffle
The 2009 Mason Griffith Founders Chapter annual fundraising banquet will be at the Grayling Ramada Inn on Saturday, May 2nd. This is our main fund raising event of the year. This year we will be honoring Mr. Bob Summers for his many years of dedicated support of Trout Unlimited. As in past years, banquet tickets are still priced at $50.00. *If you purchase your banquet tickets before April 20th, you will be entered in a special drawing to win $100.00 worth of free bucket raffle tickets. * In addition to many other nice auction items, including a very rare Jim Foote Au Sable riverboat print, this year we are conducting a special raffle for a 7'3" 5 weight Special Edition TU 50th Anniversary "Griffith Special" bamboo rod, built by Bob Summers, together with a Peerless 1.5 reel. The rod is an exact replica of the rod Mr. Summers built and gave to founder George Griffith on the occasion of TU's 25th Anniversary celebration.
SPECIAL BONUS!!! If you purchase a total of ten or more rod raffle tickets, AND you are the winner of the fly rod, Bob Summers will take you on a personal fly fishing float trip in George Griffith's Au Sable River Boat. The trip will last 5-8 hours on the Au Sable, Manistee, or Boardman Rivers! Good luck! For more info: www.rwsummers.com
