We at SWTU received this message from our friends at Coulee Region TU (which is coincidentally the source of our featured speaker in April). It’s an amazing part of the state and we hope you can help them with some amazing outreach opportunities. Please see the information below or find them on Facebook.  

Hello Fellow TU Chapters,

Coulee Region TU is looking for volunteers for youth events in April and May (especially May) and would like to extend an invitation for surrounding chapter members to join us.  The May event is a challenge as it is the weekend of Memorial Day, but we are trying to avoid disappointed 5th graders!  Even if you have only a few hours to spare, we would be appreciative.  We are forwarding our call for volunteers with details and we are happy to answer any questions you might have.  The April events are pretty well covered with the exception of the days at Westby High School.  But if you’d like to join us for any event, that would be great!    I will be turning this into a Facebook post this afternoon that we would appreciate if you shared.

I am happy to answer any questions and thank you for all that you do for TU!

We have many upcoming volunteer opportunities to show your support for CRTU Youth Education Sessions for April and May and more coming this summer! 

Activities for April and May need volunteers ASAP –  
Logan Middle School – Presentation to students regarding CRTU and Fishing in the Driftless – Monday, April 6  12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. (Physical Education Class)

Logan High School – Casting and Tying event with the students of the Outdoor Literature Class – Thursday, April 16 (Rod Casting) and Thursday, April 30 (Fly Tying)  9:50 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. This is a great class where the students are reading A River Runs Through It and CRTU gets the opportunity to translate the literature to real-life rod casting and fly tying.  This is a popular event and several volunteers would be needed both days.
