NEWSLETTER JULY 2020
The Rotonda West Community Center will not be available for our meetings through July and possibly August due to the covid 19 restrictions. Updates will be sent to members as they are received.
There will be no fishing tournament in July. However, please submit your fish photos and information so we can include them in the August newsletter.
Sadly, we must report the recent deaths of two long term members. Sue Brose and Gordon Melms have passed away. Gordon was our Helping Hands coordinator. Sue was an enthusiastic member who enjoyed everything from fishing events to picnics. Both will be missed.
The club was represented at the Fishin' Frank's charity catfish contest. Several winning entries were over 5 pounds among the 139 weighed catfish. Frank said his purchase of a new property will soon be completed. Extensive renovations will then commence and are expected to take 30 to 60 days.
