Thanks for Everything you do Vaughn!

The Franklin-based Oil Creek Chapter of Trout Unlimited held its annual banquet April 5th, 2015, and one of the highlights was a fundraiser the chapter conducted to benefit the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation.

A box of five dozen flies hand-tied by Ron DeWoody (left) brought in $715, which will be sent to the Parkinson’s foundation to assist in finding a cure for the debilitating disease.

“The foundation is matching grants during the month of April, so the chapter’s donation will be doubled,” said Tom Young (right), who was chairman of the banquet.

Young said donating to the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation has special meaning for the Trout Unlimited chapter, as DeWoody, one of the founding members of the Oil Creek TU Chapter, has been battling the disease for many years.

Chapter president Gary Ross (center) said the local coldwater conservation group is “happy to be able to send the donation to the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation and proud that banquet attendees gave so generously.”
