- Thanks to Mike Brooks and the Banquet Committee for a great banquet. Special thanks to Erika Brooks for her hard work throughout the year taking care of the ladies’ raffle prizes.
- The January MOBASS Meeting was cancelled due to weather. The new date is February 23
- As discussed in the December meeting: Bob has the new and improved TH Marine order instructions. There is no longer a published list of available items with prices. Those eligible are State Team Members and State Leadership. MOBASS is adamant that only eligible people use the program. Now, what that means to us is that we need to place one mass order. Take a look at the TH Marine Website. Determine if you need something. Send me an e-mail with what you want. I will check the non-public website to determine availability. Expect that the discount will be in the 40% range. Members have until the March 2019 LBC meeting to provide me with their items for purchase.
Fishing for Freedom: No update.
Old Business: No update.
New Business: No update
New Members: None
New Equipment Report: Bob & Larry talked about rods from a company called Fox River Rods @ www.foxriverluresandrods.com
