Hey all, I was just surfing the net and I found something that might be of interest, given the recent decision to start a Putah creek NPO.� The Northern California Federation of Fly Fishers gives out conservation grants to applicants deemed worth, and they have one coming up in June 07.� If we get organized and figure out some objectives, this could be a good chance to really get some stuff done with the creek.� The grants range from 250 to 5000 dollars, but in the past projects have ended up with as much as 15,000 in grant money!� the website is http://www.nccfff.org/grantpage/grants.htm and it explains the criteria for applying and all of the details.� Check it out, this could be of great use.� Oh by the way I have no legal experience but I am a good writer (UCD English) and I am down to help in any way to conserve/restore or lobby for putah creek, and I can make it to the saturday meeting. later Charlie

Thanks you for the info Charlie,I will look into this.And I would definately be interested in possibly using you're talents as a writer,but for now I'm just trying to figure out what steps to take to get this thing rolling.I posted in the other forum that I decided to change the meeting date of� Feb 24th because alot of people cannot make it due to the fact that they are at the Fly fishing show.When I come to a new date I will post it. Thanks again Greg
