ronk Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Bad weekend for the meeting with the playoffs going on.Plaaayoffs?What playoffs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Clifford Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Actually, the meeting would only chew into the 1st quarter of the Baltimore/Indy game. What a great opportunity to wrap up the evening with a bite to eat and an adult beverage in the bar area with fellow members and friends!

Ed Buric Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 We had 29 members and guests come out for our first meeting of 2010 and I was happy to see some new faces in the crowd.Our guest speaker,Colleen Trayser a Simms factory representative is also a member of the ISA.She gave a very interesting presentation on Simms new vibram soled wading shoes and their role in combating invasive organisms.She also brought along some samples for us to examine.Her presentation was very interesting and kept everyones rapt attention throught.After a brief break we heard from members Scott Ferguson and Jim Jozwiak on rigging and fishing their favorite plastics.Their presentation eventually became more of a discusion than a lecture which I thought was good.To cap it all off we had a sucessful raffle with some very nice prizes All in all I thought it was a pretty successful evening,no one complained about missing the playoffs.

SKollmann Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Wish I lived closer to the site of the Chicago Region meetings . . . my home community of Northbrook is just too far away. That said, looking forward to seeing you all at the Bronzeback Blowout . . . just don't forget to register. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Loebach Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Way to kick off the new year Ed! Thanks to Joseph Myers as well for sending Colleen our way. These numbers make the upcoming shows look very good. Lets see some more help for Rosemont - more help makes a better meeting/show/outing!

Guest Don R Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Really good meeting Ed. Thanks to you and to all that had a part in making it a success. I think Mike Clifford wins the 'distance driven to get to the meeting' award. Bradley to Bolingbrook is almost as far as Northbrook to Bolingbrook!

I think Mike Clifford wins the 'drove the farthest to get to the meeting' award. Bradley to Bolingbrook is almost as far as Northbrook to Bolingbrook! 54 miles as the crow flies from Bradley....but I prefer all expressway, so it's farther than that. 40 from Northbrook to BPS. It's like going out for a gallon of milk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Buric Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I have just been informed that a certain wooden stool now known as "stoolie" will be at our Feburary meeting after his many travels.Should he not be claimed at that time,I am considering offering him as a raffle prize. The meeting will be held at the sunmist restaurant 501 east Lake street Addison Illinois on Feburary 13th at 9:00am.Don't miss all the fun!

You folks were most welcoming and I really enjoyed the conversations with Don, Steve, Jim, Ed, Norm, and Dick. Thanks for a good time (and a winning raffle ticket!). I look forward to the Blowout coming up. Will "stools" also be the theme at that event, too? Chris M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick G Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Even though Ed Buric was in charge of the meeting, there appeared to be two other "chairmen" at the table. Also, I noticed that I was the only one to have ordered the Smallmouth Fisherman's Breakfast Burrito. Nice to see some new faces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
