Our members and their families have been extremely generous over the last 15 months or so in donating items to the Chapter.  Usually their wish is for us to sell the fishing gear and use the proceeds to fund the SWTU’s good works. COVID has led to the cancellation of two Meicher March Madness Auctions and the 2021 Icebreaker. Our cup, cupboards, storage unit, and Board Members’ garages and basements runneth over. We’re planning the 2022 Icebreaker but the Board has been debating how best to handle all the items. We have lots of rods, reels, flies, and some other gear. They range in quality from very good to excellent.

We hope to have some sort of in-person celebration later this year when it’s safe to do so, at which we could auction or raffle off some of these items. Other options are selling or auctioning some online. The Board also discusses to what extent SWTU members should have the first opportunity to buy this gear if we go online.

If you have any advice or an opinion on these questions, please feel free to contact any Officer or Board Member (contact info is always included on the last page of the Newsletter or here on the website). Thanks!
