President’s Notes

Hey guys and gals, another fishing season has come and gone (well almost gone) I hope you all got lots of time on the water.

First I would like to commend the Activities/Events Committee on a great job putting together lots of fun things to do this season. I also know they have planned some really good activities for the winter and the meetings are going to be great, Good speakers and other things are in the works.

Speaking of meetings DO NOT MISS this upcoming meeting .Randy McEwen, the GPS guy, is very interesting and anyone who has taken any of his classes or heard him speak will confirm that. I have attended his class and he knows his stuff on how not to get lost and how to find THAT SPOT again.

The Board of Directors meeting is now being held at KEV-LAN Restaurant on Outer Broadway in Bangor. The meeting times are still the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 6PM. All club members are welcome to join the board meetings,

Please come you may find the operation of club details interesting.

See you Guys on Wednesday Come participate REMEMBER IT’S YOUR CLUB!!!
