CT Chapter of Trout Unlimited Minutes of Meeting January 4, 2011 The January meeting was called to order at 7:35 PM
at the Torrington Elks Club by Evan Williams.
Nine people were in attendance.
The Secretary’s Report for December was read by
Secretary Bob Hart and was accepted as read. The Treasurer’s Report was given by Jim Fedorich.
There is currently $1026.38 in our checkbook with a lot of the banquet prizes
already paid for. The treasurer’s
report was accepted as read. Evan updated us on the Trout in the Classroom
(TIC) project. Our chapter will be
supporting two schools, Rumsey Hall and Washington Montessouri,
which we are taking over from the Candlewood Chapter. Evan and Rich Heffernon
will be the chapter representatives.
They brought eggs to the two schools so they could get started. Our upcoming Annual Fundraising Banquet will be a
Game Dinner held on Saturday, February 12, 2011 at the Torrington Elks
Lodge. Hors d’oeuvres will be served
from 6:00 – 7:00 PM with the dinner starting at 7:00 PM. There will be door prizes, silent auctions,
and bucket raffles. This is our major
fundraiser that supports our projects and programs throughout the year. The menu for the evening sounds delicious with the
food served family style at the tables.
The menu includes fish chowder, salmon tar tar,
Dr. Bill Vincent offered to hold free boat
inspections performed by the United States Coast Guard Auxillary. We will need to set up a location, date
(preferably early April) and publicity.
This inspection will also include canoes and kayaks. This inspection is to help boaters with the
safety of their crafts and will not be used to penalize anyone. People are to be reminded to have their
fire extinguishers, floatation devices and registration on board. The presentation for tonight was a slide show and
discussion by Dr. Bill Vincent, Clinical Microbiologist, on “Salmonella
Infections”. As always, Dr. Bill gave
us a very informative presentation, loaded with facts, prevention and
treatment of this disease. The February monthly meeting will be held on
Tuesday, February 1st, 2011 at 7:30 PM at the Torrington Elks Club. The program is open at this point, but we
will definitely be reviewing final preparations for our banquet. And don’t forget to reserve February 12th
for our banquet. See you at both. Respectfully submitted, Bob Hart Secretary, NW CT Chapter of Trout Unlimited |
