OLD BUSINESS:
Washington Boat Show. The event will happen at the Washington, D.C. Convention Center from the 13th through the 17th of February. Be prepared to donate time to staff the booth during the event. We will need to cover the booth from opening to closing each day.
Tackle Donations: Please save your fishing tackle for distribution to the kids we enroll in the NCBF. Please bring anything you can give to the kids to include, rods, reel, lures, bags, etc. If a rod need an eye or lures need hooks; we will try to fix it. We will collect the equipment at the December Member meeting. Chuck Hartzman is the collection manager.
Tournament Committee: The work has been completed for the NCBF’s 2003 tournament trail. It is scheduled for April 27th, June 29th, and the final one in October. This action included getting the park permit, securing a Bond, plaques and arrangements to use the parking lot at the Anacostia Park ramp. The tournament committee reviewed all information available to avoid as many other events on theses dates, as possible. They concluded this schedule works best for our members. Larry Yates has compiled an ongoing schedule for your use (attached).
