Wednesday, March 11th. Annual Conservation Raffle. See “The Barbless Flyer” February 2009 edition for details.

Saturday, June 13th. Annual project in support of the USFS programs in the Collville National Forest. Past projects have been habitat improvement at Middle Fork of Calispell Creek and fence installation and repair at Big Meadow. This year’s event will be a one day event and after our work project, we’ll enjoy a BBQ and beverages at the work site.

Saturday, October 3rd. Annual city-wide clean up of the Spokane River. This event is sponsored by Friends of the Falls. Last year our club, lead by project leader, Mike Keegan, worked on a section of river within Riverside State Park. The event affords affinity groups to work in areas of their choosing.

December 19th. Annual “Egg Sucking” at the Spokane Fish Hatchery. This very popular event utilized the talents of our members to extract “bad” eggs from the “good” eggs using “turkey basters” or similar “high-tech” equipment. After the the morning’s work we venture to a local restaurant for a non-host lunch.
