The New Perrin Chapter Logo is here! 
|
Many suggestions from the Board members and a great deal of work and patience from Steven Arnoczky!
The silhouette of a fisherman over a leaping brook trout commemorates Bob Perrin and his favorite species of trout. This logo has been transposed into vinyl bumper stickers and embroidered patches. You can help support your chapter with the purchase of either one of these. The decals will work well on every one of your vehicles and watercraft and the patches should be on your fishing vest and favorite shirts. Print an order form and send it with your check. (Don't forget - you can include an additional donation to help our conservation efforts!) Profits from these sales will be used to create and improve trout habitat in Michigan rivers and streams. |
