General Chapter Meeting Information
A featured part of almost every month's membership meeting is the guest speaker program. The Board of Directors spends a lot of time planning and arranging for the featured speakers. We begin by designing a general theme for each month's program and then follow up by identifying and booking potential speakers. Some of our virtual meetings have been recorded and are available for viewing on YouTube by clicking on the Theme title.
Our Meetings are currently hybrid (in person and virtual).

“Fishing Trips and Fish Stories”
Guest Speakers: PPTU Members
Sep 17th, 2025
It’s been a long, hot summer. Time to catch up with friends old and new. Many of us vacationed this summer to exciting locations. As we get together for the first time in several months, the time has arrived for us to channel our inner child and show our friends and family of PPTU members what we've been up to all summer. Tall tales and photos will vary from close to home trips to wonders outside the state lines. Several members have great trip information to share with others in search of relaxation, sightseeing, and the occasional trophy fish. Come on by, put your feet up, relax, and imagine yourself in the waders of your fellow PPTU members. Grab some popcorn and a cool drink, ask questions, or just relive some of the fascinating places our members will be sharing.
