President's Letter

 

Chapter 281 News

Hello to all. Welcome to some new members is in order, they are Betty Getch, Carol Haskins and Kathleen Favoccia.

Reminder, the January meeting will be held at Naugatuck Savings Bank, 87 Church St., Naugatuck, CT, the first Wednesday of January(6th)at 7 PM. We have a light agenda and will be welcoming Eileen Johnson. She will have her husband's fly tying supplies for sale so bring your Christmas cash.

I hope everyone was able to sit in on the informational meetings with regards to our local watershed.

Fly-tying continues on the months of January and February, the schedule will hopefully be posted again in the Town Times.

The board members should all try and attend the January board meeting. Bob Gregorski has some information to bring before the board as well as the funding for the Jacks brook project is ready. We have to do the work and we will be reimbursed. I also have some other information for the board back from TU National and the Army Corps joint efforts.

Again , I would like to thank those who have replied to my notes and to discuss the possible openings we have for membership chair and newsletter chair.

Tight Lines,

 

Glenn LaFreniere
