The Chapter’s next meeting will be held on July 21st at the Roper Mountain Science Center. Note the change of location for this special meeting at 6:30. There will be a short program and a viewing of the exhibits of streams, rivers, and wet lands of South Carolina. As you may remember, the Mountain Bridge Chapter made a contribution to the Science Center to assist in funding the mountain stream exhibit. For those of you who have not seen the excellent exhibits it is will worth the trip.

Following the program, there will be a fly tying session. So all of you tyers, regardless of experience, bring your vice and tie some flies. For the fly tying curious, please plan to join the group and see what it is all about. This will be a good opportunity for all of us to learn some new techniques and share our favorite patterns. Should you need additional information or directions, please contact me at wbdenton@bellsouth.net.

Stories, Tricks & Tips
Please review our website for current updates and information. To save our funds for projects and member activities, we would like to begin emailing you the newsletter directly each month instead of mailing you a card. Speaking of the newsletter, we would greatly appreciate fishing stories and photographs for inclusion in our newsletter.
If you have a good fishing story, a particularly noteworthy tale, a half truth or better, please email to Buck Denton wbdenton@bellsouth.net so we can include them on our web site. A new page would be added to feature the "tale of the month".

Shameless Crass Commercial Plug Department
Have pride in your chapter! Get one of these MBTU chapter patches to put on your vest, fishing hat, hip pocket of your jeans, heck just wherever you can. Good authority has it that the club has a generous supply of these patches, and now you can get yours for the low, low price of only $5. You'll have to come to a meeting, though, since we can't do the math to figure out how to calculate shipping and handling. Get yours at our next meeting. Regular meetings are scheduled for the third Monday of the month at 6:30 pm at the Sears Shelter located at 100 East Park Avenue (see Down the River section for more info), Greenville, SC.
