Several of our club members have volunteered to help with the event. We could use a few more people to introduces children to the fundamentals, help with casting, tie knots, unhook & measure fish, etc.
A foundation of our club is that our members take an active role in promoting our sport and reaching out to assist with community events.
Come out to help. You won't be disappointed.

2017 looks like a significant growth year for our club. Annual meeting results, and additional membership commitments are all positive. Lower membership fees, pay-as-you-go tournament fees, National Championship participation, and a host of other positive changes have allowed us to grow our membership this year. At present, we are predicting between 24% and 40% growth in our membership in 2017. Final numbers won't be known for some time, but the news is all very positive! Our members can look forward to bigger tournament fields, higher purses, and more competition in 2017.
Thanks to the board for their efforts and to all of those who attended the meeting, and participated in our club raffle.
