You’re Invited!!

The Board of Directors of Trout Unlimited Madmen Chapter #477 is pleased to announce this year’s Annual Meeting which will be held on Saturday, April 22, 2023 in conjunction with the Chapter’s first-ever Gala event at the historic Simon Kenton Inn in Springfield, OH. All Chapter members, their guests and others interested in supporting the Mad River are invited to attend.

The “meeting” portion of this affair will be brief with the main emphasis being on fun, food, entertainment and camaraderie. “Social Hour” begins at 5:30 p.m. with a cash bar, looping fly fishing videos, tables with representatives from organizations in the fly fishing community, and guest fly-tier Kevin Ramsey. A buffet-style dinner from 7:00 until 8-ish followed by a 15-minute (or so) business meeting. Our presentations by Sarah Hippensteel Hall and Kiki Galvin will follow. The evening will conclude with our biggest raffle yet, including a Thomas & Thomas fly rod and reel (TBD) as the Grand Prize.
