August Newsletter
I hope everyone had some time in July to spend with their family and maybe do a little fishing. As you know, we do not meet in July so I took the month off from doing the post card reminders and the e-newsletter. Well now it is time to get back to doing what needs to be done as far as getting reminders out, newletters done, projects going and preparing for our next banquet (yes it is that time again). Our next meeting will be Tuesday, August 4th, for officers and anyone who would like to help with banquet preparations. It is important that all officers be there so we can get the ball rolling. If you have any questions about what type of help we need please feel free to call me (336-902-5497) or as I have said be at the meeting. We can use all the help we can get as anyone who has helped in the past can tell you the banquet is loads of fun but it is a busy time and the more the merrier.
I also want to remind everyone that on Saturday, August 8th, we will be working with NCNR (National Committee for the New River - http://ncnr.org/) to do a clean-up on lower Big Horse Creek, near the confluence with the New River. We plan to meet at 9:00 AM and the clean-up should only last about 4 hours. Please mark your calendars for this worthwhile effort, and let Scott Frye know ASAP by phone or via email if you can help. Scott’s e-mail is .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and his contact number 336-961-3115, please leave a message if no answer. He needs a tentative head count to give to the NCNR person that is coordinating on their end. Feel free to bring your fishing gear as well, since some of us will be floating or wading for smallies afterward.
There are several exciting events coming up such as a group camping/fishing trip to the Smokies at the end of September. We are also in the process of getting a tyer that has been featured at the Charlotte Fly Fishing Show and it looks like he will be our September meeting presenter. We are working hard to make sure that all our members are proud of being in the Stone Mountain Chapter of Trout Unlimited so be sure to come out and join us at our meetings and events.
Your President,
Jeff Payne
