2020 BRTU on-line auction goes live 8:00 am Thursday morning!
Starting at 8:00 am on Thursday (tomorrow!), you can view the premiums for the BRTU 2020 on-line auction. As has been noted in previous editions of BRTU E-News, we had to cancel the banquet because of the on-going pandemic. But the on-line event promises to be a pretty exciting. .Although the actual auction will run from Thursday, November 12 through Monday, November 16. Everyone can view the items, pick their favorites and develop a strategy to win them. There is a link on the BRTU website www.bitterroottu.org.The on line auction will be like a virtual silent auction so that people who register will be able to bid on the items of their choice, and they will be informed when their bid is upped. The bidding will open 8:00 AM on Thursday, November 12.  However, you need not register just to view the premiums. At the end of the auction, when you go to check out, you will provide your credit card information.This on line auction will be the only fundraiser to support our education programs, like Bitterroot Buggers and Trout in the Classroom. In addition, this year's virtual paddle call will support as well as our conservation and restoration projects like the fish screens mentioned in next story. No one else is doing such a broad suite of efforts, and we hope that you will continue to support us during this unusual time.    If you have any questions, please contact Jeremy Anderson (mtwildtrout1@gmail.com) or Marshall Bloom (drtrout@mtbloom.net)
