PVFF 2007 Banquet - Lou Stohlman

This year our banquet will be at a new location. We are moving to the Amvets in Middletown. This change was necessary since there were some problems with last year's location.

The banquet will be on October 28, 2007 so please mark your calendar. We badly need items for the bucket raffles and auction. Please do what you can to help contribute. If you have items that you do use much anymore, please consider a donation. These items do not need to be only fishing related. We have women and children who love to win things like bath soap or baskets. I know because last year my daughter won a basket full of soap and lotion at another banquet and she loved it. If you have a resource for a donation of gift certificates, etc please research. Our club needs your help. The more we bring in the more successful our banquet will be.

The banquet will again be on Sunday afternoon and we encourage everyone to bring his or her kids or grandkids to add to the fun. We will have special buckets for the kids and other activities as well. Tickets will be $25.00 for adults and $8.00 for kids 6 - 12, no charge for kids 5 and under.

We also need volunteers to help with set up and break down of the room. If you would like to volunteer, please see me at the next meeting or just show up at the banquet willing to help.

New Editor for Streamlines URGENTLY Needed

After many years of dedicated service to keep us all informed of club activities, Pete Cook must reduce his work load and resign as Editor of Streamlines. Pete has done a wonderful job since 1999 and he will be missed! Thank you Pete!

Please read:

After much deliberation and thought, the club will need to get a newsletter editor hopefully before January 2006. I will serve through the completion of the January newsletter if no one comes forward before then. I talked earlier in the year with Chuck about this and we both hoped we could find someone I could mentor and begin turning over the reins hopefully by September or October.

It has been a privilege to serve you and the club in this labor of love. I followed two pretty good editors in Len Hinrichs and Rick James. I have done my best to keep up the tradition of excellence and interest. I hope overall that I have succeeded. I will miss being the editor because I have really enjoyed it since 1999. At this time, I am over committed turning this joy into a task. Moreover, it is time for a new editor to carry the torch for PVFF, FFF and their values.

Have a great summer, catch a lot of fish, and
Tight lines,
Pete

PVFF Library

John Nutter, a former PVFF member, has generously donated to PVFF his collection of fly tying and fly fishing books. The Board of Directors has decided to use these books as the basis for a Fly Fishing Library the club will maintain at the School for the Deaf as long as we are able to meet there. The books will be available for loan to members. I would like to encourage other members who have books or videos that they are willing to share with the membership to please contact me and arrange to include them in the library. This is a great way to share these resources. John's book donation includes many classic books that I am sure will receive the attention of and benefit many club members.
