No General Meeting Wednesday January 23rd

This post to inform everyone that we will not be having our General Meeting this Wednesday January 23rd. 2013. Several events prevented the speakers that we had planned from being able to participate this month and we didn't want to have a meeting without a compelling speaker. We will have a good speaker for the the 4th Wednesday in February, the 28th and will be bringing in Pizza for everyone to enjoy so plan on attending that meeting. At that time we will also outline the meetings for the rest of year and other activities.
As far as the Hatchery is concerned, we got our eggs in December and they are progressing nicely. There will be an announcement regarding the net pen installation within the next couple of weeks for those interested in helping to launch and participate in the feeding schedule.

Sept 28th General Meeting & Elections

Our next meeting will be Wendesday November 28th at 7:00 PM at the Edmonds Senior Center, 220 Railroad Ave (two blocks south of the Edmonds Ferry Dock). Our special guest speaker this month will be Tom O'Haus who is the owner/operator of Angling Unlimited in Sitka, Alaska. Tom is from the Northwest (Tom O'Haus info link) and has a great deal of information to present about various fishing methods and his current work in Sitka. It should be a very informative and fun discussion.
We will also be having a Board Meeting before the general meeting, starting at 6:00 pm if you have anything to discuss with your Board of Directors. We will also be having elections for the Board for 2013. If you are interested in serving on the Board, please contact one of the current board members ahead of the meeting and we will also be taking nominations from the floor. You must be a current TU member to serve on the board.

BBQ and Auction Moved to Saturday October 13th

The Board of Directors has decided that the BBQ and Auction would be better positioned if we moved it to a Saturday instead of Wednesday. The Edmonds Senior Center has Saturday October 13 available so we are moving it to that date. We hope it doesn't inconvenience those that had planned to attend on Sept 26th but hope you find this date will work for you. If you already have your ticket for the 26th , it will work just fine for Oct. 13th. Any questions contact me at: edmondstu@gmail.com or call my phone at 206-354-0877
Thank you, Gary McConaghy

BBQ & Auction set for Sept 26th

The decision has been made to move the planned August BBQ & Auction to the Sept 26th General Meeting Date. The event will be catered by Larry's Smokehouse once again but the ticket price has been reduced to $10/member or $15 for non-members. We will have raffles for restaurant and retail gift cards as well as auction items of fishing trips with Chapter members and other great items. In addition everyone that attends will be entered into a drawing for an overnight stay at a Northwest Resort with Dinner. So mark your calendars and plan to attend this great/fun event. Tickets will be available by requesting by email to: edmondstu@gmail.com or call Gary McConaghy @ 206-354-0877

Hatchery Open House 2012

We had a great time doing the Open House at the Willow Creek Hatchery during the Edmonds Waterfront Festival. In the two days we had over 300 young fisher boys and girls try their luck at the ol fish'n pond and most all of them were successful. We look forward to doing it again next year. A big thank you to all the members who came down to help out with all the activities.

General Meeting Wed. June 27th

We will have our regular general meeting at 7:00 pm on June 27th at the Edmonds Senior Center. We will have a video presentation and discussion about the August BBQ and Auction. Please plan to attend. There will be door prizes for those in attendance.
