The 50/50 this month went to John Buck.  

New Business:   The club banquet location was brought up by Steve M. and offered the Opry House in Chumuckla for a possible choice. Rich Hardy said he had not heard from potential new member James Gilman.

With regard to the Club’s  Fund Raising, it was brought up by Fred Raby to sell raffle tickets for a chance to win a $1000.00 and a nights stay in Biloxi Casino. Wayne stated from now on we will have a plan of action for members who break down on the water and need to get assistance to get back to the ramp. Guys we basically failed as a Club to help get Ron back last month. It will be the Tournament Directors responsibility for the plan of action here forward.
