Our foremost fundraising event of the year - the Emerging Anglers Dinner - will be held Saturday, September 23, 2023 at the beautiful Beaverkill Valley Inn in Lew Beach, NY. This year’s dinner honors John and Patricia Adams, founders of The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). NRDC is a national organization with over 3 million members. In 1972, they helped pass the Clean Water Act (with help from another legendary Catskillian, CFFCM Hall of Famer, Ted Rogowski). Please join us as we thank the Adams’ for their lifetime of support and their championing of environmental protection initiatives nationwide.
