First, let me wish all of you a Merry and Peaceful Christmas! And I look forward to seeing many of you in the New Year at Como Dockside.
At the December Chuckers gathering Curt Nordrum brought an assortment of fly-tying materials (and a spin-cast reel?) for Chuckers to paw through and make a free-will ($$$) purchase, Some individuals gave me money, and some promised to pay next time.
Bottom line, as I reported last year, our Treasury was at $292 a year ago, and $40 came in from the sale of some of Phil Eldred's materials, and now another $28 came in this December from Curt's materials. Thus our "Treasury" sits at $360 as of "year-end".
Brian Franzen has custody of Curt's materials box and will bring it to a January Chuckers meeting, so we will optimistically have a few more dollars added to the Treasury.
The question is: What do we do with this money? I am leaning towards a float on the St. Croix or Snake this June for smallmouth, with steaks afterwards. At the very least, we can cover the cost of Subway sandwiches for a Kroon Lake panfish outing.
Would welcome a discussion.
