It's hard to believe that it's been over a year since our first meeting back on March 12th 0f 07. We have come along way since, from the four members at that original meeting to nearly 50 members now, with 10 of those members present at our last dinner.

Our members have been very active in introducing new members and New Anglers to the joys of fishing. Together, we have participated in learning and teaching Fly Fishing, Tied Flies, camped, fished tournaments, and broke bread. By befriending and mentoring our bonds to our community, fishing, and each other only reflects the very best of what it means to be an Angler and Sportsman.

I appreciate everyone's participation in the past year and I'm looking forward to meeting and fishing with more of you in the next year.

Thank you,
Tom Carpenter
