Treasurer’s Report to Board
The TFF accounts show a balance of $2488.50 in the general account and $1375.15 in the savings account. A $50 donation was received from Gary Lesser, Esq. that was deposited in the saving account. The card for Jerry Bales arrived and was activated by Jerry. Jerry Bales provided the Treasurer with receipts from the Casting Clinic. Don Werden reported that the website billing, which had been monthly, was switched to annual billing effective 5/11/14. Current annual cost for the website is $83.40.
New Business
Results from the 2014 Casting Clinic were discussed.
15 members and 1 guest attended the event. Some very large bass were caught and even though it was pretty windy people had fun. The presentation by Eric Corya on Carp Fishing was well received.
A check for $125.00 will need to be sent to Eric for his speaker fees. Bob McKinniss will provide Don Werden with Eric’s mailing address.
Plans for a June Float trip were discussed
Dates for the June Float Trip down the Tippecanoe River were discussed. It was determined that the float trip will take place on June 28th with a rain date of July 12th. The board determined that and email would be sent to members only inviting them and “a guest” on the float trip. Given the fact that more canoes may be needed than the club possesses, the club would utilize Hodges Canoe Trips out of Delphi Indiana for canoe rental and shuttle services. Jerry Bales will contact Hodges (2761 N 1275 W, Delphi, IN, US, 46923 • (765) 564-6806). The event will be posted on the club website and forum calendar as soon as the details are confirmed.
Discuss agenda for June 19th Club meeting at MCL
The board approved Jerry Bales suggestion about a give-a-way for each club meeting. Options were discussed and the board confirmed a small item or gift card would be given away at each meeting during 2014. Gifts for the April meeting were flies (provided by Jerry Bales). For the June meeting, the club will purchase 2x 7.5 ft mono leaders for attendees and members would participate in a drawing for a $20 gift certificate from the Wildcat Creek Outfitters. Options for future meeting topics included Essential Knot Tying and trying to get a DNR officer as a guest speaker.
October Auction
Discussion about the annual auction event for the club was tabled until the next board meeting.
Club website
The club website and calendar needs updating as we move forward with our projects. Jerry Bales, Don Werden, and Wes Johnson will continue to coordinate these efforts. Don Werden suggested that a training handbook be developed to help others learn how to update the website and forums.
Next Board Meeting Agenda Items
The next TFF board meeting is scheduled for July 17, 2014.
Adjourn Meeting
The meeting was adjourned at 8:15pm.
Respectfully Submitted,
