It seems that every one of our now sixteen years of Extravaganzas receives blessings in its own special way(s) and E-18 is no exception in that regard.
This year, in addition to being blessed by the presence of Montana’s Governor, Steve Bullock) during Group One (he actually called me a few months ago and asked to be included in this year’s event), last week, while in Missoula, I had lunch with David Brooks, the new Executive Director of Montana’s Trout Unlimited, who asked if he could present to each of our groups (and now will do so each of our Sunday nights)—this will be an extravagant first for us.
Also, earlier that same Tuesday, I had a Montana Matters meeting with representatives of our dear, extravagant friends at the National Wildlife Federation and the Montana Natural History Center (each of which organizations has been a recipient of Extravaganza donations over the last several years) and, get this, the two organizations (on their own and without any coaching from me) would like to throw an special E-18 après fishing party at the Montana Natural History Center Monday night for each of our three groups so that you can all see, first hand, just what MNHC does (thanks to [y]our past, present and future Extravaganza funding) for the youth of now all of Montana…what fun!! On those Mondays, in the morning we will meet our guides at MNHC’s Missoula headquarters and return there post fishing for light h.d’s and beverages du jour before our returning to Headquarters for dinner.
Keep you eyes peeled for an incoming invitational postcard from NWF and MNHC in the form attached and don’t worry how you are going to get to/fro this gala event, as that is my extravagant privilege to so do!!
Can you feel the closeness of it all, gang??
Yep, with biblical connotations, E-18 launches in a little more than forty days and forty nights from now…just visualize the equivalent of an intervening fishing-fasting Lent!!
Best to all in the advanced preparation stages of it all,
Rock Creek Ron
