Great Smoky Mountains Chapter
RMEF believes everyone should have the opportunity to
hunt, fish, shoot a bow, or learn other outdoor skills in a
safe and ethical manner. To this end, RMEF North
Carolina Chapters both fund and mentor youth and adult
outdoor activities across the state. For eight years running,
RMEF has co-sponsored the Talking Trees Children’s
Trout Derby in Cherokee and dozens of RMEF volunteers
have turned out to make sure everyone enjoys the day.

If you love good times and the outdoors like we do, you won't want to miss the
Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Great Smoky Mountains Chapter's 18th annual banquet
and fundraiser. We guarantee you a great time supporting a great cause!
This year's banquet is on Saturday, August 13th, 2011 at the Crowne Plaza in
Asheville, NC. Doors open at 5:00 PM. During the "social hour" you'll
enjoy drawings, raffles, games, drinks, and the silent auction. Dinner and live
auction will follow.
Proceeds from this event will go to support RMEF's vital conservation efforts.
Need proof?
Since 1984, the Elk Foundation has:
- Permanently protected more than 1,500 square miles of critical elk habitat.
- Opened more than 626,875 acres to the public to hunt, fish and roam.
- Improved nearly 5 million acres of habitat across elk country.
- Funded more than 7,000 projects to promote conservation education and North
America's hunting heritage.
Few organizations can boast such numbers - a reflection of the efficiency that
earned RMEF a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator.
Local RMEF chapter events raise the lion’s share of the funding for Elk Foundation
conservation work. RMEF
helped fund an experimental program to reintroduce elk to the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park’s Cataloochee
Valley starting in 2001. The Park is now transitioning to a long-term elk management
program. All totaled, funds raised
at RMEF Big Game Banquets have helped complete 38 conservation projects valued
at more than $2 million across
the state. If you have attended the Children's Trout Derby on the Oconaluftee
River Islands Park in Cherokee, you
have seen these funds in action.
I hope to see you at the banquet. Together, we'll make a lasting impact on elk
country and our hunting heritage.
Yours in Conservation,
Tim Parker
