Old Business:
- TABC Tournament: Members present who participated in the tournament held at Choke Canyon on September 25 and 26 gave a brief report about the tournament. Congratulations to our team for the 12th place finish out of a field of 23 teams.
New Business:
- Sharelunker season is here from October 1 to April 30. Make sure any fish caught over thirteen pounds is weighed on a certified scale and call TPWD (888-784-0600)
- Members are asked to read over the Club Constitution and policies. Any changes regarding the Constitution or policies regarding tournament points or standings need to be brought up at the November meeting, nominated and then voted on at the December meeting. Members are asked to make changes in writing.
- Nominations for 2001 Officers will be made in November and voted on in December.
- A motion was made to hold a regular business meeting in January instead of conducting business at the annual Holiday Party. Members voted on this and we will hold a club meeting on Tuesday, January 4, 2011.
- A date was chosen for the annual Holiday Party and it will be on Saturday, January 8. Joe said that we could again hold it at the UT Club. We agreed to have a gift exchange as always but will not call it a “White Elephant” and ask that everyone bring in a new prize. We forgot to set an amount so we will have to do that at the next meeting. It is usually a $15-$20 gift per person.
- Members voted to again bring prizes of their own to the December meeting and all monies collected that evening will be donated to charity.
- Rosemarie Trevino reminded everyone that the next meeting, November 2, will be the last time to bring in gently used or new stuffed animals and books for Brown Santa.
Prize Drawing
Lesli had some great prizes, including the Grand Prize, which was a captains chair (won by Rosemarie Trevino!). Cliff Davis had the steal token and stole from Lesli Brown so she will be able to steal from someone at the next meeting.
