The 2015 TNAFS Annual Meeting was held February 19-20 at the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, TN. Despite snowy weather, we had a great turnout with 60 meeting attendees (including 15 students) and several special guests at the Thursday night banquet including several members of Trout Unlimited who came to accept their award. Dave Rizzuto was unable to attend the meeting but was honored to receive the 2015 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Chapter. Minutes from the Business Meeting can be found HERE.
