* Annual Slide Show
It's time for everyone to get their photos to me for the Annual Slide Show, which will take place at our January 2nd club meeting. Most of you now take digital photos, so you may attach them to e-mails sent to me. Remember, I have a new e-mail address, it's dougald@comcas.net. If you still have film photos that you want included, please let me know by either e-mailing me, or calling me at 427-1394, and I'll scan your prints or slides and return them to you.
* Dame Juliana Award
The Dame Juliana Award is a cash prize, given annually to a recipient, who, by popular vote of the members, best exemplifies the spirit of our club: "to promote, educate and enjoy the sport of fly fishing." The ballot box will be at the November, December and January meetings, so come prepared to cast your vote for the person who you think has been the most helpful to you personally. Your nominee may have given you some flies to try, advised you on how to fish a particular stretch of water, helped you with your casting, or just gone out of their way to make you feel welcome and included. If you'd like to see them rewarded, put their name in the ballot box.
