The 2022 Schrems fundraising banquet was a great success. After a two-year absence, this in-person banquet was attended by over 220 people and netted a record-setting profit of $40,584 (see photos here). We thank all those who attended and contributed their dollars, which will be used for current and future cold water projects.

On February 7, 2022, the chapter held a State of the Trout seminar at the Creston Brewery in Grand Rapids (recap).

The chapter netted $1,588 for the evening. Again thanks to all those that attended.
