Rotonda West Community Center,
Hello All EFC Members,
Englewood Fishing Club (EFC) December Newsletter
The season has changed and winter is here. The only place that I want to see snow is growing in the yard. Welcome back snowbirds, members and all guests to the December 12th meeting at the Rotonda Community Center (646 Circle Drive, Rotonda West) at 6:30pm. December’s scheduled speaker is Captain Karl Buttigian, owner of Kb Charter Fishing. Capt. Karl will speak to inshore snook, redfish, trout, and triple tail fishing. Enjoy the meeting and sign-up and/or participate in one or all of the upcoming events.
December Fishing Tournament – December is another open tournament; send a photo of your fish, or you with your fish to Steve Daniels retiredsteve@gmail.com for entry. Any fish from the EFC “Eligible Species List” qualifies for this tournament. Just one entry gives a chance to win a gift certificate.
Fishing Steve is proposing a January 17th or 18th Shark Fishing Event. If you are interested, put this event on your calendar and let Steve know during the meeting. If the weather cooperates, this event is a great time.
2024 Christmas Party – The Christmas Party is December 3rd. This year the party will be held at Rotonda West American Legion Post 113. The post is located at 3436 Indiana Road, Rotonda West. Indiana Road is off of Cape Haze Drive at the traffic circle. Tables seat eight and the format is open seating (no assigned seats). If there is someone you would like to sit with, I suggest one person go early and hold their seat until they arrive Appetizers are from 5:30pm to 6:30pm and dinner at 6:30. Cash Bar (bar drinks and beer $3)
Charlotte County Marine Corps Reserves “Toys for Tots” Campaign – This year’s campaign is now underway. There is a need for donations in Charlotte County. Please bring your donations to the Christmas Party. With the exception of realistic looking weapons and food, all donations are accepted. Be mindful of potential choking hazards for younger children. Money donations, in the form of a check, are welcome and help to fill in the gaps for toys where needs are not satisfied. John and Brownie Schoenbauer will collect Toys for Tots at the door.
