business and is very important to the club.
We need a President and Vice President and we also need some new members

some great people. Election will be October 21th.

left over from the Tournament. Teeka is
taking special orders for Christmas gifts now.
Membership: A reminder, only dues
paid members may submit entries. The
“grace” period ended at the Membership Party.
Unfortunatally, there were several
cards submitted for members who have not renewed their 08-09 membership and
they could not be counted. If your cards
are not on the list and if that is not the case please contact a Board Member
and we will check it out. If
our records show that you have NOT paid your dues for 08 - 09 your
adress label is printed in RED. If you
have paid your dues please contact a Board Member. We appreciate all of
our members and look forward to your continued membership. Membership forms are

Fishing Information
Year-end
and
In-Club
Tournament
Spread Sheets: The
Newsletter is limited to 5 pages because of postage and
printing expenses and there
is too much information
required to report the club’s year-end and
in-club tournaments. Therefore, there
are no Spread Sheets included in the Newsletter,
instead, there are pages with
the Year-End Tournament Standings and
the In-Club Tournament Standings. The Spread Sheets with detailed
entries and scoring are now posted
on the web-site (acgfa.com).
They are
under the link “Fishing Report” located
in the left column of the “home page”. They are grouped as “Year-End
Tournaments” and “In-Club Tournaments”. If you
have a problem finding them or if
there are members without a computer
or access to the web,
please let me know and we will work out a solution.
