Scott Ferguson Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 I don't remember. I don't think it was Rosemont, it was probably Arlington. Jonn and Ed Loch were working the booth. I just went back into the newsletter archives and found that it was indeed the Arlington Park Sportfishing Expo sponsored by Ed Shirley Sports. That was Jan 8, 2000.

Mike Clifford Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 When I think back, I believe it was Norm Minas that essentially convinced me to sign up, at the same banquet Gary spoke of in Kankakee. I remember speaking at length with Rich about conservation issues, and I was sold on the group right there and then. Ended up helping out, saw a photo on the back page of the newsletter where I helped with food distribution and knew this group was something I needed to be a part of. I was a devoted cat fisherman at the time, passionate about the Kankakee and interested in unlocking her secrets. Learned the ways of the almighty smallmouth soon after joining..... The rest is history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike G Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 ISA website. Being a fishing website junky, I naturally found out that way. A personal invite from rich through another site sealed my decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev-mo Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 I signed up on the site however since I mailed a check I also used the form I received at the second Blowout I attended. I first heard about the ISA from Don R back when he was temporarily in the canoe rental business. I also heard about it from Eric up at Coren's and the One More Cast shop (his name escapes me at the moment). The point is I had multiple exposure to it's existence. It took me a while to sign up as every outing or conservation project occured when I was busy. I'm glad I finally joined and managed to make it to one event. Hopefilly I can make more...

John Loebach Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Chicago region meeting at Pal Joey's restaurant in West Chicago with Vic Santucci as speaker. Fall of 2002? - anyway Ken was region coordinator at the time. Water willow planting the next summer was the first event I attended, run by Mark Kasic. Was very impressed by the turnout & what the group could accomplish in a half day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm M Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 First time I think it was from a brochure the ISA used to have for recruiting. Lord knows I handed out enough of those things afterwards. Second time paid Don Rego at the Tinley Show, hope he didn't buy some tubes with it.
