Several people practiced casting lines in the St. James Community Center ponds prior to the meeting. Jim White, a.k.a. “Rev” had a boat load of used fishing equipment for sale that had belonged to a past CFF member.
President Bill Buchsbaum called the meeting to order and asked for the Treasurer’s report. Newly appointed treasurer Doug Donaldson announced that the bank balance is around $3,800 to $4,000. Doug didn’t give a precise balance because several members had just paid their dues.
The fly drawing was won by Fran Jarrett.
