WELCOME!      

     Welcome club members to the first edition of our very own newsletter.  If you’re like me, you can’t wait to get your monthly issue of Bassmaster or your annual Bass Pro Shops catalog.  Well, hopefully you can add our newsletter to your fishing related reading material that you can’t wait to receive.

     To make our newsletter a success, each and every member will need to contribute in some form.  Whether it’s submitting an article, or a picture of a big bass, or just coming up with any ideas for the newsletter that members might want to read about.  So please try to think of any interesting topics you’d like to see and by all means write them down and give them to me. 

     I hope to bring you club related information such as current point standings, tournament results, statistics and meeting notes.  Hopefully this will keep us more informed about our club activities as well as current Federation and B.A.S.S. information that members without internet capabilities are missing. 

     So please read on and remember to think of good ideas for our newsletter along the way.

MEETING NOTES

October 5 meeting:

1.       Eric Jarrett was voted into the club.

2.       Membership voted on and passed a few changes in our Bylaws.  Some important changes were:

a)       If a member is present to fish but cannot due to his boater not meeting at the designated meeting point & time, that member will receive points equal to the average of his last 6 tournament finishes

b)       Dues are to be paid on or before the December meeting.  (changed from Feb. Meeting)

c)       If any member is not present to fish a tournament after he has entered the draw, he will get a -10 point penalty for that tournament which cannot be dropped at year’s end

d)       In the event of a tie for Lunker of the Year, length will be the determining factor for a tie-breaker

e)       Non-club members may fish any club tournament with a member who failed to draw a partner as long as they abide by the same rules given to club members

November 2 meeting:

1.       Club voted on new officers for 2001.  New officers are:                     

President – Joe Hanson

Vice Pres. – David Tyler
