VT Council Fundraiser

There’s been some important mischief afoot lately!  Good mischief, too!  Informally over the last number of weeks Grey Hagwood, the VTTU Council Vice Chair and I have had email discussions re a VT Council Fun Raiser!

 The cool part is those discussions have happened with  one of Vermont’s most outstanding restaurants, namely “Hen of the Woods” http://henofthewood.com.  Eric Warnstedt and William McNeil along with Jordan Ware of Hen of the Woods have very warmly received our idea for an event at their restaurant location in Waterbury.  To be fair I will add that Eric, Bill and Jordan have earnestly embraced fly fishing and have long been ardent conservationists and they helped germinate this idea!  They also have done other similar events in the past for other worthy non-profits!  These guys now how to throw and host a fine event!

This is the zagat review of Hen of the Woods; https://www.zagat.com/r/hen-of-the-wood-waterbury-waterbury

The details as they exists now is that the event is taking place on Sunday, May 21 from 6:00 to 9:00 at Hen of the Woods on Stowe Street in Waterbury.  This venue has a brook trout stream, Thatcher Brook, in the back as well so bring a rod if you’d like.

It’s a “stand-up affair” with a fun food produced on the spot, a band and a silent auction as well.  The fee charged will include food and a complimentary beverage and there’ll be cash bar, too.  This isn’t a “plated meal” event.  The capacity for the event is about 100.  VT TU members will have 1st crack at signing up for this and then it would be opened up for the public.
