a similar event. Further discussion on the proposition was tabled

fishing rod and reel. Parson’s already had the rod, donated by

accompany it.
2. John Hydorn stated he would personally donate a new reel and
Steve Rothenbucher and he would also provide and assemble to the
rod with tackle.

participation be planned out in the future. The idea was met with support
and more specific action and discussion was tabled for future meetings.

candidates and positions for upcoming elections. He suggested a simple
notice of the election would suffice. Frank Cantino motioned the requested
action be approved. John Hydorn seconded and motion passed
