The Union Sportsmen’s Alliance (USA) will hold Oregon’s first conservation dinner Friday, June 17, at IBEW Lo- cal 48, 15938 NE Airport Way, Port- land. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. USA is a non-profit conservation organiza- tion that brings together union mem- bers who like to hunt, fish, target shoot, and enjoy the great outdoors. The event is being held in coordi- nation with the Oregon Building and Construction Trades Council. Sponsors are needed to help make the dinner a success. Sponsorships are available at various levels, including plat- inum, gold, silver and table. All table sponsor guests will have a chance to win a Remington Model 783 bolt-action rifle—per table. A portion of the money raised will help fund a yet-to-be-deter- mined conservation project in Ore- gon. In other cities, USA volunteers have used their trade skills to ex- pand and improve public access to the outdoors, conserve and main- tain critical wildlife habitats, re- store parks, and provide mentoring programs that introduce young people to the outdoors. USA launched its conservation dinner program in 2012. It holds annual dinners in a half dozen cities nationwide. This is its first conser- vation dinner on the West Coast. Individual tickets for the Port- land dinner are $75 and include a one-year membership to USA and a gift. Building trades officials ask that you act quickly to sponsor a table or to order tickets.
