The Prez Sez

What a great September meeting we had

a few weeks back! Our meetings at that

time of year are usually a bit sparser

than our winter meetings but we had

about 55 in attendance which included

about ten visitors. And the program

presentation by Dean Finnerty was ex-

cellent.

If you were at our last general meeting,

you received your invitation to the Octo-

ber 23rd Club Auction. If not, you’ll

find an invitation in this newsletter.

Please fill out the form and mail to Marv

Clemons (or send him an e-mail) so he

can have an accurate count for the din-

ner. The dinner menu sounds great and

I’m really looking forward to this annual

event. Everything we do that night

from the dinner to the silent and oral

auctions is so much fun and is a great

benefit to the club. In fact the earnings

from the auction are the main source of

revenue that funds our club throughout

the year.

Make a special note that our last three

meetings of the year are at different lo-

cations: Our Auction is Wed, Oct 23 at

the Irving Grange, the November meet-

ing is Wed, Nov 20th at the Campbell

Senior Center, and our annual X-mas

party is Wed, Dec 18th at Roaring Rapids

Pizza. I know we’re jumping around a

bit but the good news is that in 2014

we’ll be settling into our new venue at

the Vet’s club on 1626 Willamette St.

A couple of things from our last board

meeting: 1) Tony Overstake has again

volunteered to offer a rod building class

that will be held on Monday nights start-

ing sometime in November. I built a rod

under his tutelage last year and had a

great time (lots of good camaraderie,

learned a lot about rod building, and

rod turned out great). We’ll have a sign

up list at the Auction. 2) We have a

great program planned for the Novem-

ber meeting. We have a team that will

put together photos from our 2013 club

outings. If you have some photos from

fishing trips you took this last year and

would like them in the program, please

e-mail them to Maryam Peigahi and she

will get them plugged in. Look forward

to seeing you at the Auction,

Glenn
