2016 Winding Down

The approaching Holiday Season reminds us that the year 2016 is coming to an end.  I would like to wish all our members a joyous holiday season!
-
It is at this time of the year that our Club begins to re-organize for the coming new year (2017).  In keeping with the by-laws of the Club, nominations for 2017 officers was opened at the 10NOV Meeting.  The first order of business at the December Meeting will be to accept final nominations and then conduct the vote to determine the officers for 2017.  The new President will appoint 'Chairs' for the various committees at the January Meeting.
-
Please attend and take part in the process.  The only way the Club can move forward is for members to be involved.  As a "Members Only" Club, we, the members, must get the job done.
-
Stay safe out there!

You sacrifice more than we can ever know.

THANK YOU.

We can never say it often enough or loud enough.

THANK YOU.

Always Something New-------

Just when I think things are getting routine....  I get a surprise.
-

The smile says it all!

Met a couple members Sunday who are relatively new to our Club.  They are really interested in carp fishing (and releasing!!).   Can you tell?
-
What impressed me the most, was their enthusiasm.  As President of the Club, I want to be aware of the interests of the membership.  Only then can we work toward having a wide range of activities to satisfy everyone. 
-

Look carefully, note the preparation.

This chance meeting was quite the learning experience.  It was a reminder that our Club is part of Nature's web of interrelationships.  No one activity can stand alone.  Nature favors diversity, and so must we in our stewardship role at the Club.
-

Dedication. 

Pleasure in success.

Sue was very gracious in sending the images.  They showcase this aspect of our Club very nicely.  Thank you, Sue.
