Happy New Year – Holy cow what a year we had! Here’s looking forward to a fishtastic 2022.
First off, I want to thank each and every one of you for all that you did during the COVID years to keep our club alive and vibrant. I particularly want to thank the board members who have left us for all their hard work and of course Tony for leading us for four years. Also a special thanks to all the new board members who stepped up and are going to help us have an awesome 2022.
For those of you who missed it we had another wonderful celebration at the Rancho Bernardo Country Club. The facility was sparkling and we had a great time seeing each other and sharing our experiences throughout the year and our hopes to the future. Everyone who worked so hard to make it a fantastic evening, your efforts were a great success.
The new board met, and we have begun the process of planning some new and exciting events for our club. One of the goals is to expand our camping opportunities and we would like to get your input for new or old spots for camping trips, other get togethers you would like and any ideas you may have for events or community service.
For starters, we will be having our first trout challenge coming up (details to follow). Our first camping trip will be to Santee Lakes (Tony will be wagon master so we know it will be a great time) and a Spring Fling and Clean at Jimmie and Fariba’s. Our wonderful auction will take place so start going through your treasures to donate to the auction. February will include our bake sale so you can get some sweets for your sweethearts.
Our January meeting will be a look back at 2020 and 2021, presented by Ron Parker. He always does such a wonderful job, but those of us who know him know that Carol is his secret weapon.
Also, the club will be asking for everyone to upload any club related images so that next year we will have more images to show off our fun times. There will be new additions to the web page to help you with the process.
I am looking forward to a fun filled year and wanted one last thank you. It goes to each of you for choosing me to be your President. I am honored and humbled by your grace and will do my best to make our experiences meaningful and fun.
Paul Lorson
President
