Mike Kovanich mentioned at our last meeting that he had been using "Amazon Smile" to make hi on-line purchases and designating our TU as a charity to receive a donation from Amazon as part of the purchase. Below is what Mike has sent us on how to do that....

To access amazon for the charitable donation you need to go to this link. Your purchase will generate a donation to Foothills TU. Go to the attached link and then save it to your favorites bar and each time you access it and purchase the donation goes automatically goes to us. Mike

Project Healing Waters VA Fishing Event at the Nacoochee Bend

The Project Healing Waters group that meets at the Oakwood VA clinic is supported by volunteers from Georgia Foothills and Gold Rush TU Chapters. They meet bi-monthly and tie flys, build rods, and on occasion go fly fishing... this is one of those occasions.
At this event, the veterans met for a BBQ cook out and then take on an afternoon for fly fishing in the trophy waters of the Chattahoochee. The trophy stream section is donated by the Unicoi Outfitters just upstream from the event. Each veteran is provided their own guide from either the Georgia Foothills or Gold Rush Chapters.
