Hi Everyone,
It's a beautiful time of year outdoors: autumn
foliage is at its peak, and the temperature is cool
--so dress accordingly for what should be good
fishing.
If you are traveling through woods, remember
it’s hunting season, and wear a fluorescent hat.
Our new meeting hall at the Knights of
Columbus seems to working out very well, and
there’s plenty of room for newcomers.

at the Aspray Boathouse. It’s lots of fun.
Looking forward to seeing everyone,
Mike Maddalena
Please pay this yearʼs dues and
check your address as you enter.
And please arrive early to set up in
the new hall.
