TROUT UNLIMITED OFFERS
FLY-TYING CLASSES
With the recent arrival of winter, now is the perfect time to hone and refine your essential fly-tying skills. In its continuing effort to provide free fly-tying classes and workshops to the general public, as well as its own members, the Brodhead Chapter of Trout Unlimited is offering a unique Saturday morning program to kick off its winter fly-tying programs and activities. On three consecutive Saturdays, Jan. 5, 12 and 19 from 9 am until 12 p.m., members of BTU will be on-hand at the Monroe County Environmental Education Center located at 8050 Running Valley Road in Bartonsville, right off Route 611, to teach their favorite and highly effective Pocono trout-catching patterns! The chief instructor for this course is PA State Champion fly-tier Scott Cesari, and he will be joined by the Master Fly-Tiers of the Brodhead TU Chapter. Bring your vise and fly-tying tools and learn how to tie flies that really catch trout from some of the best fly-tiers in the northeast, including Eric Baird, Tom Battista, Don Baylor, Gerry Bortz, Todd Burns, Will Daskal and Bob Stevens. As always, instruction for this comprehensive course is absolutely free; however, there is a small $15 fee that simply covers the material packets required to tie several flies for each of the patterns covered in class.
For more information and to register for this ever-popular fly-tying class, contact BTU Chapter President, Tom Battista, at 570-236-1734, or send Tom an email at: mooseowl511@gmail.com.

SOCCER
NEW CHALLENGER SOCCER DIVISION
Our new Challenger Soccer division will be presented through our partnerships with the Pocono Family YMCA and the Pocono Mountain School District and join the current offerings of baseball and basketball. These programs are for youth who are developmentally and/or physically challenged. Our newest offering is designed to help players to enjoy the sport of soccer in a fun, safe and non-competitive environment. Challenger sports opportunities began six years ago with the baseball team sponsored through our partnership with the Big Pocono Little League and has had terrific response. With our partnership organizations and sponsorships the Challenger crew is able to provide the opportunities for all kids to be participants, rather than spectators cheering for their siblings. In order to be able to move forward, we need the support of local companies for sponsorships of the four new soccer teams and donations from the community to help purchase equipment for the teams. Our goal is $1,500 of which $1,000 is via sponsorships. We have already received a commitment for one team sponsorship. Our season begins on Sunday, Oct. 6 and runs through Sunday, Nov. 11. If you have questions about our organization, please email bob.cooney@yahoo.com or call 973-896-4208.
