February Newsletter
I think I can speak for the rest of the officers and banquet chairman that we are glad the banquet is now in the past and appears to have been a success despite the crazy weather that seemed to change every hour. As you all know, it is important to maintain successful banquets in order to continue to grow our programs we have started over the past year. Now we can take a serious look at expanding our trout in the classroom program and possibly put into action some of the other worthy projects we have discussed. I hope everyone had a great time and want everyone to know how appreciative we are of your support.
Next month we will try again to have the young ladies and teachers from EWMS in for the presentation for our Tuesday night meeting since it was postponed this month due to bad weather. Remember that we start at 7:00 and the March meeting will be on the 2nd. I would like to have a good crowd to show these ladies we appreciate the job they are doing and to thank the teachers assisting them with their project. It is pretty labor intense so good support from the teachers is vital for the success of the program. Be sure to mark your calendars for that Tuesday night now so you won’t miss it.
I would also like to remind everyone about the 6th annual “Kid’s Fishing Day” coming up in April at Cub Creek Park in Wilkesboro, NC. This is usually the second Saturday in April so tentatively speaking that would be the 10th. For those of you who haven’t helped with this event before it is a fun time for our members, kids, parents, grandparents and guardians. Be sure to check back with our web-site for more details as the date approaches.
It has been a snowy winter so I hope as the weather improves everyone can find time to do a little fishing and volunteer for some of the events and programs we have coming up. Help us help our communities by making young people aware of the need to protect the environment and the world around us in general. By getting young people outdoors and involved and educated we help to guarantee that our grandchildren can enjoy the world around us as we have been able to do.
Please remember you do not have to be a member to come to our meetings and you are encouraged to bring family and friends concerned about our water and environment in general. Thank you.
Your President,
Jeff Payne
Meeting date is May the 6th, 7:00 PM @ the Foothills Arts Council Building in Elkin.
