A gathering of fly fishers
This evening after dinner our meeting was called to "order" at 7:00 by the evening's emcee - Dave.
During dinner, most of the discussions were of summer fishing outings and catching. So after dinner the order of business was rather short.
It was announce and discussed that our Treasurer Harold, had recently undergone surgery and was expected to have a rather lengthy recover period. 
Harold had previously given his Notice of Resignation as Treasurer, but would stay on until a good club's money / bookkeeper would fill his shoes. Now is the time for One Good individual to come forward to handle our club's treasury, as Harold has now had to give up that responsibility.
Harold, Thank You for the years of service that you have given our club.
Get well soon, our thoughts and prayers are for your speedy recovery.

This evening we had 10 members in attendance. Without a Treasurer being present we did not have our usually transactions with fly donations - door prize, or fly box raffle.
With some members -other obligations- it was discussed and decided that next month OCTOBER that we would again hold our monthly meeting on the THIRD Wednesday of the month -- the 18th. Please mark your calendars accordingly.
Also discussed was a meeting plan - program for November 15th. Currently thoughts are to have a SWAP Meeting. A meeting to buy-sale-trade those Fly Fishing goods that you haven't used in awhile. NO JUNK PLEASE, just used and unused goodies that you no longer have use for. What to you think?
With the low membership turnout tonight, we were thinking that many of you have made a last-ditch-effort to make an end of Summer fishing trip and gotten snowbound. It was announce that yesterday there was a FRESH 4" snowfall that covered the Elk Horn Mtns. - Anthony Lake, a favorite fishing hole and summer cooling off spot, holding large triploid rainbows* for many of us.

Mid-summer catching on Anthony Lake
With the onset of Autumn -shorter, cooler days- catching can be good here.
a typical October 18th catch of FIVE (5) 12" to 20" triploid rainbows*
Now to discuss the urgent business at hand... Will YOU step forward and share your time and effort as a Club Officer? You will not be alone.
The job might consume 1 or 2 of your month's waking hours, and the time to attend a meeting; with summer fishing months - time OFF.

* “triploid” trout are normal rainbows that have been modified to be sterile, but are otherwise identical to other rainbow trout. They look, fight, and taste just the same. With no ability to reproduce, triploids focus all of their energy on eating and growing large — sometimes to exaggerated proportions.
