President's Message
by Dave Griffin
I apologize to the chapter for my lack of involvement lately. Many changes in my life have had me preoccupied for the last several months, but things are starting to get settled and I will be at the September meeting and also at the October
kingfishing trip. This trip is shaping up to be the best ever. Be sure to see Rob to get in the kingfish tournament. Steve Shechtel has procured several great prizes for our raffle at the kickoff cookout and we are also planning a pig roast. If this is going to be your first time
on this trip, get ready for a great time!
September is also the deadline for the football pool tickets so please get those turned in.
See you at the meeting.
Dave Griffin
