Little River Chapter of Trout Unlimited

The Little River Chapter is already off to a great start in the new year.  The Board of Directors has approved an $8,000 donation to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park Fisheries Department.  Almost $6,000 of this donation is proceeds from the LRCTU Auction and the remaining amount is from the Chapter’s general fund.  Once again, thanks to everyone for supporting and participating in the auction.  

The Chapter will be initiating a Volunteer Recognition Program to reward LRCTU volunteers for their contributions to Chapter sponsored volunteer activities.   Details of this recognition program are forthcoming, but will apply to all Chapter volunteer activities, including but not limited to, GSMNP Fisheries Projects, Trout in the Classroom, John Thurman Smoky Mountain Trout Adventure Camp, and Pistol Creek just to name a few.  Awards will be based on the number of volunteer hours by participant; so, please start keeping a log of your volunteer hours.

Volunteers are the “heart and soul” of the Little River Chapter. It was encouraging to have several first-time TU volunteers participating in the Trout-in-the-Classroom program and the Pistol Creek Clean-Up this month. I’m equally grateful for the members who continue to volunteer year-after-year.  In the coming year, the LRCTU Board of Directors will be initiating a Volunteer Recognition Program to reward LRCTU volunteers for their contributions to Chapter sponsored volunteer activities. This is the first of several initiatives that will be led by the Board of Directors as they take a more active role in guiding the Chapter. If you are interested in becoming more involved in the LRCTU, please contact one of our officers or board members.
