Guest Speaker: Shawn Kimbro

Shawn is a lifetime Outdoorsman – and a proponent of effective Catch & Release fishing.  Shawn was referred to us as being an excellent speaker – and passionate fisherman that we definitely wanted on our calendar again this year. Shawn is very generous with his fishing knowledge. Shawn has recently released a book entitled, Chesapeake Light Tackle – An Introduction to Light Tackle Fishing on the Chesapeake Bay. http://www.chesapeakelighttackle.com/

Letter from our Northern Virginia President

Members and Friends,

The Northern Virginia CCA Chapter is pleased to invite you to our Twelfth Annual Dinner and Auction taking place on Saturday, March 3rd, 2012 at 6:00 pm.  This year’s event will be at The Shriners Kena Temple in Fairfax, VA. We have been working very hard with our donors and supporters in gathering a wide array of Auction items that are sure to impress – We will have over $20,000 of Merchandise – something for everyone in the family.

We are extremely grateful to all of our Supporters and thank them for their part in helping CCA Conserve, Protect, and Restore our marine resources.

This Fundraiser will help our Chapter with many activities this year, including the “Save a Kid – Catch a Fish” trip we host each summer, guest speakers, and our contributions to the State CCA office which leads our conservation efforts.

Our event is an excellent opportunity to meet many fellow conservationists, pick up some very nice Auction items, and have a great time!  Several folks are buying full tables and inviting their friends and co-workers for a nice evening out – we invite you to consider the same. This year’s event will be catered, featuring Hors D’oeuvres, Dinner, and a Full Bar.  We are offering an EARLY BIRD coupon worth $20 off any Auction item for tickets purchased prior to February 25th.
