HFF Monthly Meeting October 2022

Project Healing Waters

We are really looking forward to the October 18th HFF meeting.  As  usual we will meet at 6:00 for dinner and the program will start at 7:00. This month we have a terrific program. We will be hosting  a presentation  by Joe Smith about Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing and the important work they are doing for our veterans.

Before this evenings  program we will be  having a brief business meeting. Kevin will bring us up to date on the Volunteer Work Day at Yellowwood Lake State Forest on November 5th. The plan is to clear some of the shoreline of two fishing jetties to restore or improve access for fishing.

Barb Hatton will briefly discuss the up coming Casting for Recovery program.

We will be presenting the Slate of Officers for next year. This includes:
President– Charlie Shaw
Vice President-Program- Mike Donovan
Newsletter- Tim Mather
Treasurer– Barb Hatton

Please feel free to nominate from the floor. If none is made we will move to elect as stated.

After this brief business meeting there will be a short break during which you may buy some tickets for the raffle at the end of the meeting and/or  to pay annual dues.

After the short break we will get on with the real interesting and important part of the meeting. Joe Smith will be  talking to us about Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing and the important work they do for our veterans. Looking forward to understanding the role fly fishing has in and is helping veterans and how we may help. We will have two additional guests with us for the meeting. Two American Legion Commanders from adjacent counties will be joining us for the evening. 

As always, we will meet at 6:00 for dinner with the program starting at 7:00. Looking forward to seeing you all there,

Tim

Summer HFF Meeting June 21, 2022

The first summer meeting of the HFF will be next Tuesday the 21st.  I just looked at the 10-day weather forecast and it is calling for 99 degrees! A very good reason to stop by the Legion for the air conditioning and a cold beer. And if that wasn’t enough, Mike Donovan will be giving a fly tying demonstration. Mike’s demos are always fun to watch with lots of good information.

There are a number of items on the discussion/demonstration menu for the summer.  As always, we are looking for program suggestions…what would you like to see or hear about? There is strong interest in reading the various types of water in rivers and lakes. If possible we would like to actually get on some water for this discussion. We are also planning an outing at Yellowwood Lake, the date to be announced. Add to this there has been discussion about taking part in a Lake Monroe cleanup sometime this year.

Speaking of reading the water. This link is about the flooding in Yellowstone. I would read this water as really upset about something…

There will be the usual round-table discussion to start the meeting. This is a good chance to fill us in on your summer(mostly true) fishing success. As always there will be a raffle with neat stuff you really need.

Stay cool, see you at the meeting, Tim
