A Note from Your President!.
Hello to Everyone!
Our next event will be our Fall Feast on November 18th at Jimmy and Fariba’s house with our White Elephant Sale. Sign-ups will start at our next meeting. Then, Thanksgiving the following week, Trout Derby, Awards Banquet, and Christmas. The holidays are coming!
As I mentioned in my Note from your President last month, I was attending the Eastern Sierra’s Campout and said I am sure we will have stories to tell when we get back. Fishing started a bit slow but then everyone began to catch fish. I decided to take a dive on a cement slab a few days into the trip on my way to take a shower. I ended up in the Emergency Room in Gardnerville, Nevada, as my bloody nose would not stop. I look pretty banged up and I’m still healing from the fall. As we age, sometimes it’s easier to fall and as a reminder, be care-ful. I tripped on my own shoes on cement and decided those shoes needed to be thrown away. I was so fortunate to have a nice young man come to my immediate aide when I fell. Then the campground attendant called our group and got me more help. Thanks again to Colleen Wilson and Dan Engelbrecht who drove me 60 miles to the hospital and took good care of me. After draining a hematoma in my nose, flushing it and packing it, it finally stopped bleeding. What an experience. The hospital in Gardnerville was wonderful and the doctor was great. Our club members all look after each other. We are truly blessed!
As I mentioned above, we have the Fall Feast coming up. Hank Skaja’s son, Carl, of Skaja & Daniels Attorneys at Law, has graciously donated the turkey’s and stuffing for the event. I will need a few turkey cooks with gravy, and stuffing makers. Sign-ups will include mashed potatoes, green bean casseroles, rolls, cranberry sauce, and of course desserts. This event will not cost anything since we will have everything donated by club members. If you have any items to donate for the White Elephant Sale, please see Marge Lovelady to make arrange-ments to get items to her.
Lastly, our speaker for October is once again Ernie Cowan, one of our favorites. He is always interesting and has a great slide presentation of Nature and Fishing. I hope you can attend the meeting.
Your President
