On behalf of Friends of Cal-Ore Fish, I am pleased to offer an invitation to attend this year’s 27^th Anniversary event.  As this is one of the primary fund-raising events that makes all the grant allocations possible for our organization your continued support and participation is vital. 

            Last year we donated $95,000 to Rowdy Creek alone.  In addition we were able to provide funds to Elk River Hatchery, Oregon South Coast Fisherman, Elk River Fin Clipping Program-Chetco, Smith River Creel Census and the Murchison Family Scholarship Fund. 

Friends of Cal-Ore Fish is a non-profit organization dedicated to the enhancement of fisheries and streams in our area, with the goal of providing funding for fishing programs in our area.  The tax-deductible donation of $2,800 per team of 4 ($700) per person) includes your “Club Friend” Membership in the new organization- we highly recommended your upgrading to the full “Angler Friend” membership or how about becoming a “Business Sponsor Friend”?  If you are already signed up in the Friendship program you are entitled to a discount on derby fees.  Angler friends also receive priority registration and guide selection as well as room requests.  In addition, professionally guided fishing, equipment, gear, meals, refreshments as was well as great derby collectible gifts are provided for the event.  Although accommodations and transportation are the responsibility of the participants, we will make the room assignments based on the information provided in the entry form.  Rooms are available on a first come, first serve basis so get your entry form in soon.  Please do not call the Ship Ashore for room reservations, as they will not be able to assist you.  Additional days and RV reservations can also be made through the derby headquarters.

            Your completed entry form can be mailed or faxed but is not considered confirmed or room assignments given until a 50% deposit is received.  Guides are also assigned on a first come, first served basis and so get that entry form and money in quickly.  The fastest sign up method is through our website interactive entry form.  Go to www.cal-orefish.org and follow the links to “Fundraising Events”.
