Donations of equipment and supplies for raffles, auctions and door prizes are received from supporters of CFFU's objective -- to promote increase awareness and participation in the art of fly fishing and preservation of our resources.
The CFFU Annual Dinner and Fundraiser will be held at the Dante Club. The event is open to members and their guests at 4 p.m. You can buy raffle tickets and start bidding on the silent auction items immediately. Dress is casual. Men traditionally wear anything from nice fishing shirts and good jeans to suits. Women wear anything from nice jeans to dresses. Listen to Andy Penn's smooth jazz trio. The room and stage are filled with raffle and silent auction items. Buffet style dinner is served at 6:00 p.m. Menu is TBA. Our professional auctioneer Justin Trick runs our live auction.
