East Cooper CCA 2011 Conservation Banquet






With some beautiful spring weather in effect, the annual gathering of sporting anglers took place at Alhambra Hall on May 5th, with little Cinco De Mayo fanfare involved. Arriba! A well-organized East Cooper chapter put on a great event with good food, silent and live auctions and a humdinger of a view off the back porch where most everyone gathered to enjoy their cocktails. Some conservation topics included offshore fishing trips and speckled trout mortality, as the crowd was full of advocates for our natural resources like Rep. Chip Limehouse, SCDNR board chair Carolina Rhodes, and Gov. Cup Director Wallace Jenkins.
