Announcements:
BURGER BASH is June 5th. The event begins at 11:00AM and it will be opened to the public so getting here early might be a good idea. This year the menu will include ribs/chicken, beans and slaw. Members will pick up their MEAL TICKETS at the table inside the clubhouse door at the top of the stairs for the food which will be cooking adjacent to the clubhouse. We will pick up our food and take it to the SCTC clubhouse where we will eat (the public will not be allowed in the SCTC clubhouse). There will be other events including a swap meet, vintage car show going on as well. Please get signed up and pay ASAP on the club website. If you do not have access to the website, you can make a reservation by contacting:
John Lavarias at johnblavarias@verizon.net or
Terry Tysseland at terrytysseland@gmail.com
by email or text or phone call with the number of reservations that you need. You can also pay “cash at the door” at the event check-in table near the SCTC clubhouse door. Looking for a great turnout as we usually have for this event.
Fish The Wall and Small Boat Tournament will be 6/4 with Tani Poe
announcing the results at the Burger Bash. Looks like 8 boats and 26 anglers.
Tackle Day was April the 9th. however, we will have a booth at the Burger Bash so look for Co DeCoudres, John Lavarias and Ron Herbst to sell more donated tackle & equipment which are still coming in thanks to our members cleaning out the gear they don’t use any more. The total donated to the Foundation from this year’s event exceeds $10,000 and is still coming in – THIS IS getting more outstanding each week AND A GREAT BENEFIT TO A GREAT CAUSE.
Spring Bass Tournament – 6-9 to 6-11 Cor says there are 14 boats signed up and we could use a few more. Final party and awards at Whites Landing on Saturday evening 6/11. Weight Slips must be turned in on the pier at Whites no later than 5:30 pm on Saturday.
