Tournaments
Tournament Director Pete Trevino announced the winners of both the November 6 & 7 Amistad Tournament and the December 4 LBJ Tournament and presented the awards.
Pete reminded us that the January Tournament will be on January 22 on Lake Dunlap. The tournament times and weigh-in location will be chosen at the January 4 meeting.
Members voted to hold the February tournament on Lake Belton on Saturday, February 19.
Pete also reminded members that they should research lakes and dates and bring some suggestions/nominations for the Spring two-day tournament to the January 4 meeting. It seems early but in order to secure rooms for all teams we need to plan in advance.

Pete Trevino suggested that our club members participate in some local parades in order to advertise the club and possibly attract new members.
