Chapter Meeting Feb. 12, 2026, 7:30pm - SPECIAL AMERICAN RIVER SCREENING

We have an amazing opportunity for Chapter Members, their families, and friends! At our next Chapter meeting, we will have a special screening of the documentary film, American River, all about the Passaic River. Film maker Scott Morris will present the documentary followed by a Q&A. 

So many of us grew up fishing, rafting, and exploring the Passaic. This film will provide a unique view into the river's past and present with a focus on the region's wildlife and natural beauty. It will also delve into the industrial disaster that changed the Passaic forever. 

We hope you will join us at our Chapter meeting on February 12, 7:30pm at the Whippany American Legion. All are welcome, so bring your family, friends, and neighbors. It is sure to be a memorable evening!
