We’d love to see you at our upcoming club meeting and fish auction. We’ll be holding our annual election of club officers, so this is a great chance to have a voice in the club. Anyone who has paid their 2026 dues is eligible to vote.
The fish auction will follow our usual rules. You must be a current, dues-paying member to sell, but anyone is welcome to buy. The auction will be a 50/50 split between the seller and the club.
We’ll have some light refreshments available, so come hang out and catch up with fellow hobbyists.
The meeting starts at 6:00 PM.
