SEQUIM — The Puget Sound Anglers, North Olympic Peninsula Chapter, will hold the club’s annual fundraising auction and dinner at the Guy Cole Convention Center in Carrie Blake Park on Thursday, Jan. 21.

Doors open at 5 p.m.

A spaghetti dinner will be served starting at
5:30 p.m.

Donations for the dinner will be appreciated.

Water is provided with the meal or bring your other beverage of choice.

Proceeds from this auction provide the majority of funding for the annual Olympic Peninsula Kids Fishing Program held in May at the Sequim water reclamation pond.

A silent auction for a wide assortment of merchandise runs through the evening.

The key event, the live auction, will be held following dinner.

Live auction items include fishing trips with renowned guides on North Olympic Peninsula rivers for salmon and steelhead, charter boat services out of Neah Bay for halibut, ling cod and sea bass and Ilwaco for sturgeon and fishing trips with club members out of Port Angeles, Sequim or Seiku for salmon or halibut.

The premier auction item is a multi-day guided fishing trip, including lodging, at Newton Cove Lodge on Esperanza Inlet in Nootka Sound, Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

For details, phone Herb Prins at 360-582-0836.
