You can contribute by<br>bidding on auction items or by making a direct donation through the auction website.<br>At least 80% of the auction proceeds will be donated to the Great Smoky Mountains<br>National Park (GSMNP) Fisheries Department.<br><br>Stream Barrier Surveys resumed on November 9th in the Greenbrier section of<br>GSMNP. Several National Park visitors noticed the new LRCTU logo safety vests<br>and stopped to talk with us about volunteer work in the National Park and the<br>mission of the Little River Chapter. These safety vests will also be used during the<br>Pistol Creek Clean-Up on December 9th. Pistol Creek Clean-Up is a great<br>opportunity for us to promote our Chapter while participating in a local conservation<br>project.<br><br>The last Chapter meeting of the year will be held on November 30th at the<br>Chilhowee Club on the Maryville College Campus.
