Reclaiming the Past, Protecting the Present, Preparing for the Future ...
I’d like to thank Dennis Croft (Vice President) and John Dolan (Secretary) for handling the June 2022 meeting in my absence. Since June, the president executed the directions of the Board of Directors in seeking legal counsel in the issue of the Morgan Run right-of-way. I will elaborate on this later in the Resource Management portion of the meeting. We have continued as active partners in moving toward an alkaline sand treatment project on Jonathan Run. With the help of Deb Simko, the president prepared an application for an Embrace a Steam Grant from National TU. We were successful and will receives $2,500 for purchases of limestone sand for Jonathan Run. A challenge we face as a chapter in the next year is to spend the money we have acquired through grants for specified, dedicated purposes.
Also, much time went into coordinating the Youth Fishing Day with East End Community Center. I was invited to, and attended, a retirement party for Marilyn Calloway who has been our contact at East End. I met the new person who will be taking her place, and she intends to continue the fishing day if we provide it.
With the help from Rod Cross, I contacted our two students that attended the Fly Fishing Rivers Conservation Camp in June. One of them will be attending our September meeting to provide a report. I have been working with other South Western TU chapters to finalize the Trout Trail brochure, and provided comments to the DEP on behalf of the CRTU on the Back Creek (Fayette County) Critical Area Resource Plan.
Thank you, be well, and good fishing.
Ben Moyer
President
