 This
good looking group was responsible for today’s program. Both
Diane Ulmen and Wendy Johnson are involved in the upcoming
Fishing Has No Boundaries Event being planned for August 27-28th
at Confidence Learning Center. Fishing will actually take place
on Sylvan Lake and Gull Lake. The actual presentation was given
by Brian Ray (on left) and Dave Anderson from the local Brainerd
Lakes Chapter. Both the Gull Lake Association and Camp
Confidence are supporting this effort. The DNR has officially
recognized the event so that means that anglers in this fun day
of fishing do not need fishing licenses.
Bobby
Cammack founded the Fishing Has No Boundaries in 1986 in
Wisconsin after an accident that left him with a broken leg and
a sense of how difficult it was to fish if you were disabled.
The first event was held in 1988 and now the organization is
national with seventeen chapters in nine states. Dave and Brian
urged us all to get involved. They showed the video from
Lakeland Public TV and then encouraged everyone to volunteer.
They need people to help on shore and volunteers with boats. If
you want to be a guide—they are trying to expand from 35 anglers
to 100 this year, contact Hank Ebert. Dave stressed the idea
that you do not have to be a professional guide, just someone
who likes to fish. It will take an entire day on Saturday, plus
an evening get together on Friday but the time is well spent.
The guides get more out of the experience than the participants.
 As Dave said, “Just jump in, have fun, and make the most of
it, and you will have the experience of a lifetime.” The
pictures below are from last year’s event. If you want more
information or a look at more pictures go to their website at
www.brainerdlakesfhnb.org. Cost for participating is $50
but $20 of the fee covers the national organization which issues
the liability insurance coverage. Scholarships are available for
everyone who cannot afford to pay. |

Announcements |
 The
Twins check arrived today and President Potvin presented the $1200
to Dave Burggraff for Camp Sertoma. Jim took this opportunity
to thank everyone who helped him reach his goal of starting new
projects and getting more people involved. The flags, the Twins
game, and the Michael Johnson concert added new revenue and plans
for the Christmas Lights Project are still in the works. His thank
you’s also extended to the people who helped him including
officers Rita Johnson, Rory Coit, and Kevin Goedker as well as
committee persons Lynn Franz, Pam Sachs, Lori Ukkelberg, Kris
Welle, Joe Schulte, Mike Howard and Julia Sullivan. |
|
The Chamber of Commerce has issued a thank you to Sertoma for
the Flag project. Mike Howard gave an update today. Three
hundred flags are rented and have already brought $9,000 in to
help pay expenses. Mike urges people to follow in Gary Walter’s
footsteps next year and volunteer to be a Flag Captain for a
season and make things much simpler. Unfortunately three flags
were stolen on the Fourth. Committee meeting is scheduled for
Tuesday, July 20th. Mike needs an RSVP to help plan the grilling
since the meeting will be held around 5:30. If the weather permits
it will be at Howard’s cabin. NOTE the date change. |

Remember: Greeters
(Be sure to take care of your duties that include meeting people
at the door and getting the ticket money counted and divided
with half going to Tami to give away and half to Diane for the
social committee's budget). As greeter you have several duties.
You need to arrive about 10 minutes early. It is your job to
greet people, help them find their badges and sell them a ticket
if they wish to participate. The money collected must be divided
by the Greeters equally--half goes to the Current Club Treasurer and half goes to the Club President along with the
bucket of tickets. Be there by 11:45 and call somebody if you
can't. Call Patty Hartman. |
