Looking for a Trout in the Classrom Chair

Bob DeGraff has been the long time Chair of the Trout in the Classroom (TIC) Program and would like to transition the Chair Position to a new leader. The TIC program works with local area schools to place tanks and trout eggs in the classroom to be cared for by the students and raised to fingerling size when they are released locally at an event. The TIC program is offered by all four Chapters of TU and supported by the the Illinois Council.
