This is a reminder to all that the next TPFR BEER TIE is tonight, Monday, April 1, from 7PM-9PM (which by now you all know means 6PM-10PM!) at Whitlow's on Wilson!!!! Details and Directions to Whitlow's can be found on our TPFR EVENTS PAGE. This is a particularly special BEER TIE because it is also the exact night Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders turns 4-years old! Hard to believe I know, and it is now hard to even imagine the D.C. fly fishing scene without it. Thank you all for continuing to make TPFR what it is!
A few stats - we close out our fourth year with 1013 registered members (and who knows how many non-registered readers). Our forum is more active than ever with over 600 posts in the month of March alone and nearly 1500 this year so far! Thank you to all who regularly contribute - you have helped make the TPFR Forum the real time pulse for our local fishery and a truly incredible resource for all.
We plan to pilot a new program for our fifth year this evening as well, and yes, it involves alcohol (is that bad?). To help us ring in a new TPFR year, we are pleased to have Neale Walker with us who is an area rep for a wide range of Scotch and Whiskey distributors, and he will have a few of his favorite offerings available to try out. We plan to fund raise a bit off of this, so there will be a small ticket fee to partake in the tasting. If you like a particular spirit, please consider purchasing a glass from the bar to support our host (Whitlow's) as well. If things go well with this tonight, expect to see Neale and his choice libations at many future BEER TIES!
Additionally, our anniversary party is typically when we "pass the plate" for a Spring Fund Raiser, so please bring an offering if you can in cash or check form. Melody has official TPFR letterhead donation receipts that she can give you for tax purposes right on the spot. As you know, whatever you give will only be poured right back into the club, so helping us helps you! We'll have a raffle as usual, so bring cash for a few tickets ($1 for 1 ticket or $5 for 6).
I am also SUPER EXCITED to report that we now have some awesome, high quality TPFR stickers for sale for $2 each or $5 for 3. Did I ever tell you I like stickers! Be sure to buy few and put them everywhere - rod tubes, stripping baskets, strangers cars, Metro stations, etc. We also have TPFR hats in stock again, in any color you want as long as it's brown (other options presently on back order). Hats are $20 each.
I am looking forward to a record crowd tonight at Whitlow's. I know the Nats are playing, but that's a daytime game. Consider it a warm up for the main event - BEER TIE!
Happy 4th Birthday TPFR!!!!!!!!!
