A huge thank you to all our donors and members.

Memberships: Annual memberships are due at the end of December (unless you are a lifetime member). If you aren't sure if you're currently a member please email carriearonsonfotm@gmail.com to check your status. We'd love to have more members. Our membership gives us much more standing with agencies such as Parks Victoria, DEECA, North East Catchment Authority, Shire Council, State and Federal ministers and more.

 

What do you get for your $15 membership? (apart from being a member in a cool organization that cares for our rivers )


  • A ticket in the raffle which will be held at the FOTM event (Anglers Rest, Sept 27). The main prize is a NRS PFD - lots of other cool things will also be given out during the evening including a great YETI water bottle (1.9 litre).

  • Additional raffle tickets will be able to be purchased by members and volunteers at the give back day and event Sept 27. Volunteers who got their hands dirty helping out during that day’s “Give-Back” projects get one extra free raffle ticket. 

  • If you sign up as a new member now we'll extend your membership through December, 2026. It's easy to renew or sign up online, Check out https://www.revolutionise.com.au/friendsofthemitta/registration

Membership support has greatly contributed to projects such as river maps, extra loos at Hinno, interp signs, picnic tables at various campgrounds, launch and take-out improvements, extra toilet paper holders in the Park loos, river camp clearing of broom and blackberries, willow removal on our paddling runs, planting over 100 native trees at the Hinnomunjie take out area, improving the Snowy River takeout at Bally Hooley, the best environmental interpretation “Citizen Science” information about the Mitta Mitta and its drainages on earth, and much more.


EACH YEAR OUR SILENT AUCTION IS OUR BIGGEST INCOME STREAM besides grants. We're doing the online method once more so it reaches many more keen paddlers and supporters. Every dollar helps, plus there's some super cool stuff you can win. 


Let's know if you have any questions.

Happy bidding and good luck,

Kaz and Carrie (auction organizers)
