4. Discussion revolving around Clinton Valley Chapter Banquet and should we support it. Is apparently a money maker thru bucket item & meal sales. Consensus was we would not do it but would pass out information about the banquet.
- Expo preparations & booth.
Discussion indicated we would have an “Expo” meeting in March, prior to the Exposition. We need to make sure the iPad is working.
- New Board Members:
The issue is the trouble of getting volunteers to serve on the board. Discussion included ways to do this; among them were “talking it up” at the membership meetings.
- Kids Fishing: We have a jumble of rods, reels, tackle that need to be “Cleaned Up”, hooks tied to lines, etc. These are used at Johnson's N.C. for kids fishing days.
