A Note from Your President!.
Hello to Everyone!
Well, it’s now 2026 and how the time goes by. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday enjoying family and friends. I’m looking forward to the New Year and hope I can do as good a job as my predecessors. I want to thank Paul Lorson for doing such a great job for the past 4 years and Tony Smock for always backing him up. Without these two, we could not have kept things going like we have. Our move to the American Legion Hall for our meetings has been a change but I think we have transitioned well. There may be a time when we are able to go back to the Senior Center but for now, we are doing fine and have been treated well by the staff. Thanks to all that help each month setting up and taking down the tables and chairs for the meeting.
One of our Surf Fishing regulars, Jerry Watanabe, has agreed to take over this outing from me. He has some terrific ideas of where to fish each month and dates are already planned. Jerry likes to cook too, and has a menu already planned for lunch each month. Sometimes, John Jessup surprises us with Breakfast Chorizo Burritos. We are hoping to get more attendance at this and all of our events and hope to get our membership numbers up. If you have ideas for increasing membership, please let me know.
This month’s meeting is one of my favorites of the year. We are blessed to have Ron Parker, who puts together an incredible video with music of all our meetings and outings. I always look forward to seeing all the fun we have had throughout the year. I’m looking forward to a fun year of fishing and camaraderie. Picnics, Camping, Tuesday Time Out, and most importantly Fishing! Fishing! and more Fishing! So you can reach me better, I’ve changed my e-mail to the following: President2026SeniorAnglers@gmail.com
