Salmon Derby:  A couple months ago, Dave Graybill approached the club about hosting a Salmon Derby on the Columbia River around the 4th of July.  There was a general consensus to do so.  There was a concern raised as to whether there would be enough member volunteers to put on such a derby.  Thus Ron Poppe and Bill Stegeman were given permission to talk to the Lake Chelan Sportsman’s Club to maybe co-host the derby.  On January 13th Ron and Bill attended their meeting and discussed the derby issue with them.  They are interested in doing some serious discussions.  Before we get too involved into the planning stage, one of their members Al Brooks, will come down and talk with our club.  Al suggests taking a year to do a well planned out derby.  The Lake Chelan Club is well experienced in hosting derby’s since they hosted one on Lake Chelan for many years.  This is an opportunity for members more interested in fishing to get involved.  So, be at the March 16th meeting and let your thoughts be known.  The decision to go forward and / or drop the derby idea will be made at that meeting.

 

Secretary’s Position:  The secretary’s position is still open and needs to be filled.  As Bill stated, “I said ‘adios’ as of December 2009 and will not be your secretary come March 16th”. 

March Program:  The March program will be Eric Braaten (Grand Coulee Wildlife Manager) will talk to us about Blue Grade.  Al Brooks (Lake Chelan Sportsman’s Club will talk about hosting a possible Salmon Derby on the Columbia River in July 2011.

 

Time and Hours:  Ron Poppe again reminds us to track and record our hours and miles, including related meetings.  Get them to Ron at 662-3957.

 

If you can’t make the game feed, remember to get your 2010 membership dues paid as soon as possible.  This will keep you on the newsletter mailing list.
