More than 75 people attended our General Meeting this evening at Finest Kind. It was rumored that some weren't sure they were coming until they learned that Brooklyn Joe's Pizzeria was providing the food; salad, ziti, and garlic knots. Fabulous! (Thanks, Joe & Linda.)
Guest speaker Spencer Marchani, Factory rep for Shimano, introduced some very exciting new rods & reels from Shimano. Then, he surprised us by drawing tickets and giving away over $1,000.00 worth of new rods and reels that he had been showing. (Club director Roy Lemieux was one of the lucky recipients of a fine reel, which he donated back to the Club for use as a raffle item or prize at one of our tournaments. Thank you, Roy, for your generosity.)
As a matter of business, Andy Kubiak led the voting where all members selected SSC officers & directors for 2009. They will be inducted into office at our Annual Dinner on November 8.
Dave Powell introduced and welcomed guests and several people signed up as new Club members. Welcome to our new members, glad to have you with us.
If you missed this evening, you missed an excellent meeting (and the weather was perfect!). We look forward to seeing all of you at the Members Tournament on Nov.1 and at our Annual Dinner on Nov. 8.
