Fishing School
Tournament:
Brian and Alan had another meeting with the fishing school last Thursday. This
will be the biggest event B.A.S.S. has ever seen a federation host. All we have
to do is run the tournament and supply the boats and captains.

pending. Tentative dates are July 10 or 11, July 17 or 18, August 9 or 10. We
need to try to have all members help with this one.
We will need Debbie and some of the kids
teaching knot tying and lure making. This will give us the press that we need.
Letter Head: We need to get some
letterhead made up for out going letters. Maybe Danny Kelly could help us at a
minimal cost. (Danny said he would take care of us.)
