August 8th, 11 am, at the McKenzie River Discovery Center
44643 Hwy 126. Leaburg OR 97489

All, after months of scheduling we have secured a meeting with congressman Peter DeFazio on August 8th, 11 am,at the McKenzie River Discovery Center. We are planning to have a brief award ceremony where we give an art piece with an inscription to Peter in acknowledgement of his services to the people of Oregon and in particular the folks of the McKenzie valley. I would like to invite any and all members of the MRGA to join us to help in this celebration. After the award ceremony we are planning to take the congressman for a short float( 12-3pm) to do a little fishing and help remind him of the importance of the Leaburg hatchery to the people and guides of Lane county. I have volunteered to row a boat but I am looking for a couple of volunteers to help take some of his staff down the river as well. If you are available to row on that day please contact me as soon as possible so that we can sort out the details. This should be a great event and I hope to see you all there!
