<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span>Trout Unlimited
along with the New Mexico Wildlife Federation, Albuquerque Wildlife Federation
and others will be hosting Valle Vidal Appreciation Day Saturday, July
21.</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span>Congressman Tom
Udall will be speaking at the Shuree Lodge at 4 p.m. Saturday and it is
important that as many TU members and friends as possible attend. </span></font><font face="Arial" size="2"><span>Protecting Valle Vidal from oil
and gas development was a major win for sportsmen across the west and Udall was
key in that victory. Showing up to this event would make a powerful statement
and could go a long way toward furthering Trout Unlimited's
conservation goals in New Mexico.<br><br></span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span>There will also be a
kids camp and casting clinic beginning at 11 a.m. and continuing until 4 p.m.
There will be a chance to see the ongoing Comanche Creek restoration project for
those who are interested.<br><br></span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span>This is going to be
a fun-filled opportunity in a gorgeous setting. More importantly, it is a
good chance for Trout Unlimited members to flex their conservation
muscle.</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span></span></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span>Hope to see you
there!</span></font></div>
