The NMT Annual Conclave soon be here! Our requests for donations for the Conclave are gaining success. Thanks to the fly shops, guides and other suppliers who support our cause, we have several guided fishing trips, fly rods, customs flies and other fishing equipment available for the raffle.
We still need the help of our members! Here is how you can help support our major fundraiser of the year.
- Ask fishing guides you know if they will donate a guided trip.
- Ask any restaurants, coffee shops or stores if they will donate a gift certificate or item.
- Ask any vendors or service providers if they will donate a gift card or discount count on their service.
- Consider donating a valuable piece of fishing equipment or art that you no longer use. In previous years people have donated bamboo rods, high end fly rods and reels that they no longer use.
Look around your home for new items you have that you have never used. They do not need to be fishing related. In previous years we received Nambé bowls, hunting knives, swamp cooler motors, tools, etc. All of these things were given out in the raffle. They were valuable to someone! Look around your home for new things that you can donate to the raffle.
We need and appreciate any and all support that you can secure for our fund raising efforts. Please contact Bruce Newton with questions or donations. I would like to have donations in hand by 2/15/26.
Bruce Newton, Coordinator of donations for 2026 raffle.
